Career long training
Career long training brings your career to life…and keeps it growing
We’re serious about training: Our NYLIC University and comprehensive Agent and management training curriculum form the backbone of our Agency system.

NYLIC U courses span Agents' entire careers, from pre-contract training through practice succession planning. More than that, NYLIC U helps Agents brings their careers to life, helping them implement what they have learned on a daily basis with new prospects and clients.

There are six distinct career development stages that carry new Agents through their first three years.

New agent development (Years 1-3)
Career Orientation - Training actually begins before an Agent signs his/her contract. Career Orientation offers an overview of the career and helps prospective Agents know what to expect from Day One
Fundamental Career School - Provides the skills technical and administrative knowledge Agents need to succeed
Basic Career School - Reinforces Fundamental Career School and expands Agents' knowledge
Intermediate Career Course - Broadens Agents' knowledge of product and services
Career Development Conference - A highly interactive five-day course, held at NYLIC University's campus in Dallas, TX
The Associates Program - Introduces the agent to more advanced areas of Estate Planning, Retirement Planning, and working with Small Business Owners.
In addition, during their first three years, new Agents are encouraged to begin registered representative and Securities license training.

Experienced agent development
After their third year, Agents still have a wide variety of career development opportunities available through NYLIC University.

Graduate Path to Market Excellence - six series of courses that touch the advanced planning areas/on a graduate level each culminating with a Leaders For Life Conference at the NYLIC U Dallas Campus
Mentoring Program

In addition to formal training, we encourage experienced and newer Agents to work together in mentoring relationships, either informally or through the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) Mentoring Program. The company provides special incentives to Agents who take advantage of this opportunity. The MDRT is one of the most prestigious production-based national and international organizations in the insurance industry.

Through computer based training, in person skill development, and actual field assignments a successful agent is taught to become a successful manager and leader.
