Becoming a Medicare counselor is a detailed, hands-on training process. Volunteers typically complete a combination of self-paced online modules, live trainings, and supervised practice sessions before working with beneficiaries on their own. Most people spend 20–30 hours completing the initial certification, followed by a few hours each month to stay up to date during Open Enrollment and throughout the year. This level of preparation ensures that every counselor feels confident, accurate, and ready to help older adults navigate complex Medicare decisions.
