How Do I Enroll in Georgia Insurance Pre-Licensing?

Step 1: Choose Your License Type and Lines of Authority

Your first decision determines everything else in your licensing journey. Georgia offers several lines of authority, each requiring 8 hours of pre-licensing education:

• Life Insurance - 8 hours required - Help families plan for their financial future and protect loved ones
• Accident & Health Insurance - 8 hours required - Assist individuals and families with medical coverage needs
• Property Insurance - 8 hours required - Protect homes, businesses, and valuable assets
• Casualty Insurance - 8 hours required - Provide liability coverage for legal protection

Most Popular Combinations:

• Life & Accident/Health Combined - 16 hours total - Great for comprehensive individual and family protection
• Property & Casualty Combined - 16 hours total - Ideal for protecting tangible assets and businesses

You can pursue multiple lines at once or add lines later as your career develops. Many new agents find that starting with property and casualty provides a solid foundation for building a client base.

Step 2: Enroll in Georgia Pre-Licensing Education
