How to become a life insurance agent?

It takes hands-on training and a state license to become a Life Insurance Agent. A bachelor’s degree is recommended, but not required to start. An insurance company will usually train a new hire, but continued education and courses are needed to meet state requirements for an insurance license and can be found in colleges and online. Check your local state requirements for specific details. Life insurance and health insurance may require separate licenses. Once hired, you will shadow an experienced agent to gain insight into the documentation processes and filing.
