These courses help agents and brokers understand how social, marketing, and economic conditions relate to the insurance industry. The licensing of insurance agents is regulated by the Indiana Department of Insurance. A license is needed to sell life, accident, health, property, casualty, industrial fire, and other types of insurance. Bail agents, some underwriters, and financial consultants are also licensed under The Department of Insurance. Applicants can apply for resident and non-resident licenses.
Licenses are renewable every two years.
All states require insurance agents to be licensed. Requirements vary by state. Contact your state Insurance Commission for more information. See the Securities Salespeople occupation for more information about that license.
