Which of the following is NOT required for an applicant seeking an agent's license in Kansas?

In Kansas, to become a licensed insurance agent, an applicant must pass a licensing examination, demonstrate financial responsibility, and be a resident of the state. However, the requirement to complete a specific training program is not a standard prerequisite for obtaining an agent's license.

While the state may encourage or provide training programs to prepare individuals for the licensing examination and for their future roles as agents, participation in such programs is not mandated by law. This allows individuals with relevant experience or self-study to qualify for the exam without undergoing a formal training program. Thus, the absence of a requirement for a specific training program distinguishes it from the other necessary components for licensure, which are clearly established in the regulatory framework governing insurance agents in Kansas.
