People who wish to sell insurance in Massachusetts need to be licensed as a
producer. The term producer includes insurance agents and insurance brokers.
Insurance agents are primarily representatives of insurance companies while
insurance brokers are representatives of people buying insurance.
Anyone wishing to obtain either license is required to pass an examination
administered for the Commonwealth by a company named Thomson-Prometric,
formerly Experior,

for the exam is currently $59 per line, but you must check with
Thomson-Prometric to
confirm the pricing. This examination is administered regularly, usually
twice a day Monday through Friday, by previous appointment (to set up a test you
can call (800) 741-9380).
