Well, not necessarily. A good agency in an insurance company usually have around 3 morning meeting (usually ends at 11am), one weekly training class and normally 1 Business Opportunity Presentation event a month. Any other time is for you to manage your work and personal time yourself.

Hi, I was an agent for 5 years before an insurance company hire me as a consultant for their Takaful agencies.

Your no 1 priority right now I believe is to find an agency that you are comfortable to work with. You can survey them from your nearby insurance branch. Just ask questions like what is the best agencies there, who is the leader and so on so forth.

Why? Because a good agency will already have a system where they will help you through out the licensing process and they will have set up a training routine to suit your conditions and lifestyle.

Yes, in KL we have a computerised examination where you will get your exams results immediately thus saving some time.

But there is examination centres all across the nation and Penang is included.
