Carrier Training for Independents

[DT1970]

My question is...

Let's assume XYZ Life Insurance has an office in my state. They have both a direct sales force and independent agents.

Would independent agents be allowed to sit in on their training classes? Or would these major carriers have classes specifically for independents?

Is there usually a cost involved?

I think having high-quality training by a carrier to polish expertise would help a person's professionalism and probability of success. Guess I'm wondering if this sort of arrangement is typically available?

It has been my experience that most of the major insurance companies hold seminars for independent agent/brokers. Usually they offer CE credits or vouchers that can be used to obtain CE credits. Rarely is there any cost involved.

YMMV
