REQUIRED HOURS
Producers in Maryland must take 24 hours of continuing education, 3 of those hours being in Ethics, every 2-year license term. Producers licensed continually for 25 years or more may complete only 8 hours every license term (3 of those must be in Ethics).
License terms end every 2 years on the last day of the producer’s birth month. No excess credits will be carried forward into the next license term. Courses may not be repeated within a 2-year license term. If the same course is repeated in two consecutive license terms, there must be 6 months between the two course completion dates in order to receive credit.
NOTE: Be sure to complete all of your CE credit hours BEFORE submitting your license renewal application.
CATEGORY RESTRICTIONS
Students must take approved courses in the line of authority in which they are licensed in. For multiline Life/Health and Property/Casualty, producers must complete 6 hours in each line. The remaining hours may be satisfied by either line. Courses
that are approved for Flood credit will not satisfy the minimum 6 hours required for the Property/Casualty line of authority. Ethics credits in excess of the 3-hour requirement will not be applied to the overall continuing education requirement.
SPECIAL TRAINING

• ANNUITY TRAINING – Maryland licensed producers must complete a state approved 4-hour Annuity Suitability Best Interest course before selling or soliciting any annuity products.
