Why Sell Insurance In Florida
Florida is a large state with vastly different communities as you travel across it. Those communities have great and varied insurance needs. Led by Miami with over 5 million residents, Florida has more than 20 cities with populations over 150,000. These include Miami, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Jacksonville, Gainesville, Orlando, Kissimmee, Sarasota-Bradenton, Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Melbourne, Daytona Beach, Pensacola, Lakeland, Winter Haven, Ocala, and Tallahassee, the state's capitol. This means that Florida represents a great opportunity for you to sell insurance!
Miami residents may be concerned about severe weather and want to protect their property from a potential disaster. Fort Lauderdale retirees may be looking for peace of mind in their retirement through knowing their families are taken care of with a broad life insurance policy. Job opportunities for insurance adjusters in Jacksonville have often been plentiful. With a Florida insurance license, you may have a tremendous array of options.
While the Florida Department of Financial Services is responsible for giving out Florida insurance licenses and is located in the state capital of Tallahassee, you can do all your prelicensing requirements online with Agent Broker Training Center and take your Florida insurance licensing exam through Pearson VUE in a variety of locations throughout the state.

There are separate exams and pre-licensing requirements for each license type (e.g., Life & Health, Property & Casualty, Adjuster, etc.), and the pre-license education requirements for each license type varies.

You should choose which format in which to take your courses based on your preferred method of learning. The goal isn't just to get the courses out of the way, it's to prepare you to pass your license exam on the first attempt.
