Question

What degree or certification is needed to become an insurance agent how long would it take.?

Answer 1

You don't need a degree or certification.  You have to pass a test.  How long it takes, depends on the state, and how long it takes you to learn the materials.

Answer 2

It depends upon what state you are in.  In many states, there is only extensive testing through the State's department of Insurance.  This testing isn't a "piece of cake" though, and many folks often need to take specialized classes to ensure that they are ready!  I have seen folks test in 4 days, and others take multiple courses and still fail in 6 months.

You might want to google your State's Department of Insurance.  There you can learn more about the specifics for your particular situation! (ie: Google Arkansas Department of Insurance)
