Which subjects qualify for insurance continuing education credits?

States set their own continuing education (CE) rules, and most require licensees to complete CE before renewing — commonly 24 hours per two-year period including 3 hours of ethics. Approved courses cover topics such as insurance laws, consumer protection, ethics, and technical policy details for the license type held. Many states also require product-specific training, for example long-term care, annuity best-interest, and National Flood Insurance Program courses, before a producer may sell those products.
