how does auto insurance work

What you have to do to work in an auto insurance provider?
I was wondering if you need any requirement to sell insurance car (as in the Allstate SafeAuto etc etc). I realized that my agent had some kind of diploma and that aroused my curiosity lol.
Agents need to be licensed in the state that sell insurance. Having to pass a test to obtain a license. Beyond that, insurance agents come from all areas of life, some with advanced education and others not. Moreover, many agents take the insurance industry courses to become certified as a CLU (Certified Life Underwriter), CPCU (certified property and accident insurance) to name but a few. You could look at his state license, a copy of degree or professional certifications he won.
