Question:
Trying to find out what it takes to get a temp. insurance license.
Answers:
There are two ways to get started to get in to insurance business.
1. Traditional way.
2. Corporate way
in traditional way, first you have to choose which company you prefer. because its tough to change the company after wards. pay fees between 600 to 900. get 100hours training. pass IRDA exam and get license to sell insurance for 3 years and targets from the company.
in corporate way,
a corporate company got license. already there are licensed advisors. Take use of the advisors refer your leads to corporate. get the referral income
here you need not bother about training, exam, fees. no monthly targets, just freelance.
in traditional way, as you are an agent you will get commissions from your sales alone.
in corporate way, you can get commission for your referrals and also from the sales of your team that you can gradually form.
in traditional way, you can get good commission in first year premiums and a small fraction of commission from subsequent premiums. as long as you stay alive in business. the commission from your referral stops as you stop active sales. You cannot inherit the insurance business.
in corporate way, you can get commissions from first premiums of your and your team sales. you and your generations are entitled to get commissions from team sales. means this business can be inherited.
which way you prefer to sell insurance?
if you choose the corporate way. if you need more information about the corporate way

in india you have to get through the exam conducted by IRDA
where are u from i dont know
There isn't a temporary license, unless you're temporarily handling the estate of a deceased agent, and only in some states.
You have to pass a test and pay a fee. Depending on the type of license and state, you might need to take a class or have a sponsoring company.
Check with your state insurance department website to find out state specific information.
Well, it starts by learning about insurance. If you don't have a decent understanding of insurance, that is where you should start.
My advice is to check into some insurance jobs first, find out what an agent's duties day to day are, at a given company before you spend all the money and time on insurance classes, and the test. There are lots of insurance companies with horrible jobs who will tell you bold faced lies to get you to come work for them. These companies will hire anyone because pay is commission based (in order to get paid, you have to make them money, if you don't, you don't get paid) and often you have to pay the company a start up fee, or buy materials from them before you can begin work.
There are many great jobs in the insurance industry, however, and you might want to find one that would suit you first. Also, don't just take the boss's word on how the job will work, and only believe the hype about how much money you'll make if that money is guaranteed, and not something you'll have to pay back. You can make money in these types of situations, but you can also lose money, and end up in debt to an insurance company that never paid you a dime, and have a vector hit on your name that will stop other companies from appointing you.
Once you decide it's really something you want to do, run a web search for your state's name followed by department of insurance. It may not be called the department of insurance in your state, but usually you can find it with those words. For instance Florida's DOI is called Florida Department of Financial Services.
Congrats as u are going in a very much developing sector for ur career. Insurance is like a part time job done within ur relatives or friends. U wont feel as u are doing a job as u will be mostly with ur relatives or friends or meeting people. Before start selling an insurance u need to write a exam conducted by IRDA and those are conducted on sundays every quarterly all over the India. U need to pay a fees of around 900 for the Exam and once cleared u will be given with a licence of Insurance advicor which u can use for any of the insurance company. But at a time u can work for only one insurance company. U will be given leads by ur senior and only thing u need to do is to attend the client and close the case. If u are interested i am working for HDFC Standard Insurance[Bangalore]. Can give me a call on 9980523095.
Approach the insurance company for which you wish to work and they will guide you to take 100 hours training for IRDA exam and then you can start insurance business after getting license. this license will be valid for 3 years and again you have to renew after 50 hrs training every 3 years.
Good Luck
