Producers continuously licensed for at least 25 years or who hold on of the following professional designations will receive 12 hours automatically biennially: AAI, CEBS, ChFC, CFP, CIC, CLU, CPCU, FLMI, FSPA and RHU (Hours may not be applied to the Ethics requirement)

You may also need to take specific courses or earn specific credit types to renew your license. These course completions will count toward the total hour requirement.
For All Licenses:
Ethics
3 hrs - Producers and Adjusters must complete 3 hrs of Ethics as part of the total requirement.
For Life & Health Producers:
Annuity Suitability
4 hrs - Effective June 1, 2017, producers who sell or wish to sell, solicit or negotiate annuities must complete an approved one-time 4-Hour Annuity Suitability Certification Training.
