Can I complete insurance continuing education online?

Yes, continuing education can generally be completed online: New York's Department of Financial Services, for example, approves classroom, webinar, and self-study formats from approved providers. Some states impose limits: Illinois requires 3 of its 24 hours to be classroom or webinar ethics training, and Texas requires at least half of its 24 hours to be classroom or classroom-equivalent. Because providers need time to report completions to the state, finish your hours at least 30 days before your license expires.
