Insurance as a second job or side income

You don't have to quit your current job to start in insurance. Many people begin part time while keeping their day job.

Getting licensed around your schedule

Our Ohio pre-licensing classes meet on Saturdays and Sundays and are live streamed, so you can complete your 40 hours over five weekends without taking time off work.

Part-time paths

• Part-time agent: some agencies welcome licensed agents who work limited hours
• Evening or weekend customer service at agencies with extended hours
• Serving your own network: friends, family and community members

Things to check first

• Your current employer's rules about outside work
• Any agency's expectations for hours and training
• Continuing education requirements to keep your license active
