To become certified to sell insurance you must complete an insurance selling exam and course.

You can sometimes become certified in selling insurance in as little as a few days and it may take as long as a few months to a year depending on how long it takes you to study the insurance selling certification course.

There's usually no regular college courses needed to become an insurance agent but you must complete an exam to get your insurance agent certification.

Most insurance agents work around 40 hours per week which is Monday through Friday for 8 hours each day.

Insurance agents usually work the same amount of hours as most other workers do and have Saturday and Sunday off from work like most other people.

Some insurance agents work part time and may work less than 40 hours per week while most insurance agents work full time and do work at least 40 hours per week.

Some other insurance agents may work around 9 to 10 hours per day if they have a lot of work to do and of course the more they work the more money they earn.

An average salary for a full time Insurance agent is around $80,000.00 to $150,000.00 per year depending on how often they work and where they work.

Some insurance agents may earn more than another insurance agent.
