License requirements and eligibility
To become a licensed life and health insurance agent through Aceable.com, you must meet state‑specific age, residency, and background criteria. Most states require you to be at least 18 years old, have a clean criminal record, and hold a high school diploma or equivalent. Some jurisdictions also mandate a pre‑licensing education hour count, which Aceable fulfills with its online courses.

Pre‑licensing education
Aceable offers state‑approved modules that cover policy fundamentals, ethics, and state regulations. Courses are self‑paced, include interactive quizzes, and provide downloadable study guides. Completion of the required credit hours unlocks a certificate you can submit to your state insurance department.
Exam preparation and scheduling
After finishing the coursework, you schedule the state exam through the designated testing vendor. Aceable's practice exams mirror the official test format, focusing on multiple‑choice questions and scenario‑based items. Your final score must meet the state‑set passing threshold, typically 70 % or higher.
Application and licensing
Upon passing the exam, you submit an application through your state's insurance portal, attaching the Aceable completion certificate, proof of identity, and any required fees. The review process varies by state but generally takes 2‑4 weeks. Once approved, you receive your license number and can begin selling life and health policies.
Continuing education and renewal
Licenses must be renewed every two years in most states. Aceable provides continuing education (CE) courses that count toward the required CE credits, often ranging from 12 to 24 hours depending on the jurisdiction. Failure to complete CE on time can result in a lapse, requiring re‑application and possibly a retake of the licensing exam.
Key differences by state
