Insurance sales agents contact potential customers and sell one or more types of insurance. They need a license in every state where they work: in most states that takes set courses and a passed state exam on insurance basics and state insurance law, and selling life and health insurance takes a separate license from property and casualty insurance. Much of the rest is learned on the job.1

In Illinois, 1 of the 2 programs takes students without a high school diploma and 1 asks for earlier courses first.

By kind, the 2 programs here are insurance license course (lines not stated, 1 program) and insurance apprenticeship (1 program).

How to pay for insurance license courses in Illinois

WIOA funding can pay for insurance license courses in Illinois

Where the Illinois insurance program numbers come from

Which Illinois insurance programs are on this list?

These are the insurance programs Illinois approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Illinois offers.

How the prices and results of Illinois insurance programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.

How reliable are the Illinois figures?

The US Department of Labor's own results site lists Illinois among the states with "known data quality concerns".10 We leave out the share who finished for Illinois: only a few programs report it, and those at a typical 11%. We leave out prices for Illinois: the state files a code in place of each price, so no price can be shown.
