What is the cost for license and testing to be an insurance agent?

Question

Switching careers from secretarial/customer service to insurance sales. I have to pay to the test and lisence, and I can not find a web site that tells me what the cost is.

Answer 1

Just Google the department of insurance in the state where you live.  All the details will be there.

Answer 2

Like your previous answer said, the cost varies but it CAN get a little expensive with the cost of the study materials and the actual testing. One alternative you may consider is becoming a benefits specialist instead of an insurance agent. The cost is $95 to start and the possibilities are endless. There is great availability to move up within our 16 yr old multi-million dollar company and we work with only the top fortune 500 companies. Please check out my site for more information about Ameriplan and your future possibilities. Good luck!

Answer 3

It depends on what state you are in, which and how many tests you have to take, and if you need classroom time before testing.  It can be anywhere from $50 to $200, per test, plus study materials and potentially classes you'll have to take.
