How to Sign Up for a Missouri Insurance Pre-Licensing Course

Step 1: Determine Your License Type

Before enrolling in any pre-licensing course, identify which insurance license aligns with your career goals. Missouri offers several license types, each authorizing sales of specific insurance products:

Life Insurance: Covers term, whole, and universal life insurance products for individual and business clients. This license focuses on long-term financial planning and family protection strategies.

Accident & Health Insurance: Authorizes sales of health insurance, disability coverage, and Medicare-related products. This license addresses immediate healthcare needs and income protection.

Combined Life, Accident & Health: The most comprehensive individual license, allowing sales of all life and health insurance products. This option provides maximum flexibility for serving diverse client needs.

Property & Casualty: Covers auto, home, commercial, and liability insurance products. This license protects tangible assets and provides liability coverage for individuals and businesses.

Understanding different license types helps ensure you choose preparation that aligns with your career goals. For detailed guidance on Missouri-specific requirements, visit our comprehensive Missouri insurance license guide.
