Continuing Education FAQ
- Can I purchase continuing education training courses separately?
- Courses can be purchased separately at a cost of $5 per credit hour. You may want to purchase a bundled package and save a lot of money. Our bundled course packages cost as little as $2 per hour of study. If you do not need all of the courses for the current license renewal you can use what you need and carry over the remaining credit hours.
- What happens if I take a CE course and fail the final exam?
- Not to worry, you can re-take the final exam as many times as you want until you pass it (70% or better is passing).
- How are my CE course credits reported to the state insurance department?
- It varies by state. Some states require that we report directly to the insurance department and other states want us to report to the approved state vendor. Still other states allow the student to print off a certificate of completion and report your own. You can see the requirements for your state by going back to the state home page.
- I am licensed in several states, how is my CE reported in those states?
- Every state contributes to a reciprocal agreement for continuing education. This means that once your CE is reported to the state of your resident license, then all states are considered to have been notified.
- When will my completed courses be reported?
- We report all courses by the next business day.
