Continuing education courses are required every two years for an agent to maintain their property and casualty insurance license. Those with a P&C license are required to complete 24 total hours in continuing education coursework, of which 21 are in P&C related topics and at least 3 are related to ethics.
You are allowed to take 21 hours of almost any courses that interest you as long as it has been approved by the state as a continuing education course for P&C license holders. You can mix and match, choosing the courses you’d find most useful.
Please note: Some courses are required to sell specific products. For example, those planning on selling homeowners insurance will have to complete a mandatory 4 hour course in homeowner’s valuation.
