Washington Insurance Continuing Education Requirements

WASHINGTON CE COURSES

ExamFX does not currently offer continuing education courses in Washington.

 

REQUIRED HOURS

Producers in Washington are required to take 24 hours of CE, including 3 hours of Ethics, every 2- year license term. The license term is based on the producer’s date of birth. No carry over credits are allowed and a student cannot take a course more than once within 3 calendar years from the original completion date. Please note: Course numbers for LTC and annuity courses are the same for all providers. The initial 8-hour LTC course and annuity training course will be considered duplicates if repeated within the 3-year period. The 4-hour LTC course is exempt from the repetition rule.

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
