CATEGORY RESTRICTIONS

Students may take an approved course in any line of authority to obtain their Continuing Education credits, but it is recommended that they take courses pertaining to their license type.

 

SPECIAL TRAINING

• ANNUITY TRAINING – Producers must complete a one-time annuity training course approved for at least 4 hours before they may begin selling, soliciting, or negotiating annuity products.

• LONG TERM CARE/PARTNERSHIP TRAINING – Before a Producer can sell or solicit Long Term Care Insurance they must complete an initial, state approved, 8 hours of Long Term Care Training. Producers must then complete a 5-hour training requirement every two years thereafter. If Producers are looking to sell LTC partnership products they are required to complete a one-time 7-hour training requirement in addition to the 8 hour LTC training requirement, for a total of 15 hours. The 7-hour training requirement must be completed in a classroom.
