Insurance license courses in Ohio

10 insurance license programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

4 schools offer these insurance programs, and Ohio has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did. One school runs 6 of these 10 programs, so the typical figures lean heavily on its prices and results.

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 Ohio, 8 of the 10 programs take students without a high school diploma and 2 ask for a diploma or equivalent.

By kind, the 10 programs here are life and health license course (3 programs), property and casualty license course (2 programs), insurance license course (lines not stated, 2 programs), bail bond, securities or agency service license course (1 program), and 2 more of 2 other kinds.

Where the Ohio insurance program numbers come from

Which Ohio insurance programs are on this list?

These are the insurance programs Ohio 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 Ohio offers.

How the prices and results of Ohio 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.
