Useful resources to be insurance agent in California?
I want to be an agent in California to sell auto insurance and commercial insurance. What is the tools/resources/educations that anyone here may know and provide to me as reference?
Here is the page from the California Department of Insurance. It covers applying for a license, seeking pre-licensing education, producer licensing forms, examination scheduling, insurance code and regulation and more. This is where you want to start.
Contact Andre Urena. He is CEO of the Latin American Agents Alliance (LAAA) and he can put you in contact with all the info you require or you could contact the LAAA direct. They have a great convention every year in the Long Beach area – great continuing education and trade show!

Go find a local independent agent who's willing to hire you for a commission split. They'll teach you what you need to know, AFTER you pass your test.
