Insurance education is required for applicants who wish to become agents. They must pass tests that show their knowledge is sufficient to help their clients. Each state has its own exam. It is a complicated industry, with many rules and regulations. Knowledge of all facets of it is essential to provide a valuable service to clients.
The industry was created to protect people from extreme financial losses. It is designed to get them back to the same financial position they were in before the accident. If a policy has a high deductible, it is less expensive than one that has a much lower deductible.
Policy premiums are put into a pool that provides the funds for paying out customers who present valid claims. If there are a significant number of claims, the pool will be reduced. This can cause a rise in the amount required for premiums. In areas that have suffered many natural disasters, for example hurricanes, the sale of policies in that area may be eliminated. Flood policies can be dropped from an area if the company is at risk of losing a damaging amount of funds. There are, however, strict rules that govern when this might be done.
The only people who are legally authorized to sell insurance policies are licensed agents. Each type of policy that is available requires that the agent is tested and licensed to sell it. Any kind of policy, like for life and property policies, requires a test. The names of the tests are referred to by number, for example, Series 6 or Series 63.
Financial advisers who are involved in the stock market and other investment tools must take the Series 7 test. It is a very difficult examination that covers all aspects of the industry. Those who will be taking the test often study for six months or more to pass it. There are courses available to help them to prepare for it.
In addition to the initial licensing tests, agents are required to obtain continuing education credits to maintain licenses. For the most part, each state has its own requirements concerning the number of hours required. The courses are self-study and can be taken online to meet requirements. Your state regulations will let you know what is required.
Most companies will only hire college graduates with a bachelor's degree. Often, students will focus on areas in business so that they can have a firm grasp of the industry. The nature of the work demands a constant interaction with clients. Sometimes groups of clients will be presented with information. It is beneficial to have courses in public speaking so agents can get their message across successfully.
Insurance education is required to not only obtain a license, but to keep your license. Keep your knowledge current and refresh what you already knew. Local regulations will list all of the requirements you must satisfy to be licensed.
