Life and health insurance can provide lucrative sales opportunities for insurance agents. The Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance requires a license for life insurance and a separate combined license for accident and health insurance. Aspiring agents who wish to sell both types must attend courses on each type and pass separate exams. Tennessee applicants who complete the education and testing must also pass a criminal background check. Successful applicants may contract with insurance companies to sell policies for life, accident and health insurance in Tennessee.
