Alabama Insurance Continuing Education for Life & Health Professionals
Staying compliant with Alabama's Life & Health insurance license requirements doesn’t have to be stressful. NobleCE offers fast, affordable continuing education (CE) courses designed to help Alabama insurance producers renew their licenses with ease. All our courses are approved by the Alabama Department of Insurance and built for convenience so you can complete your CE online, on your schedule.
What Is Life and Health Insurance CE?
Life and Health insurance CE includes state-mandated coursework for licensed agents to stay up to date on regulations, ethics, and product knowledge. In Alabama, Life & Health producers must complete 24 hours of CE every two years, including 3 hours in ethics. Specialized training may also be required if you sell annuities, long-term care, or flood insurance.
Who Needs to Complete Insurance CE?
If you're a resident Alabama insurance producer licensed in Life, Health, Accident & Health, or a combination of these lines, you are required to meet CE requirements every renewal cycle. Non-resident agents are generally exempt if their home state has equivalent CE rules. Service representatives must complete 12 hours, with at least 2 in ethics. If you’re unsure, it’s best to check your transcript and confirm your standing before your renewal month.
Top Questions Agents Ask About CE Courses
Are there special training requirements for annuities or LTC?
Yes. Alabama requires a one-time 4-hour Annuity Best Interest course before selling annuity products. Producers that sell LTC must complete an initial 8-hour LTC Partnership training followed by a 4-hour refresher every two years.
Can I take all my CE online?
Yes. All 24 hours can be completed online through approved self-study format.
Does Alabama allow open-book exams?
No, final exams must be closed-book and proctored. The proctor must be a disinterested third party.
How to Complete Your Insurance CE Online
NobleCE offers fully online Life & Health CE courses designed for flexibility and compliance. Once enrolled, you must progress through the full course content before unlocking the final exam. Alabama requires a closed-book, proctored final exam with a passing score of 70% or higher. You may retake the exam as many times as needed to pass, but proctor and exam integrity rules must be followed.
After successfully completing your course and passing the exam, NobleCE reports your credit hours directly to the Alabama Department of Insurance, including the required state filing fee.
Do I Need to Pass a Final Exam?
Yes. Alabama requires a proctored final exam for all online self-study CE courses. Exams must be monitored by a disinterested third party who is not a family member, subordinate, or direct supervisor. The exam is closed-book, and a score of 70% or better is needed to pass. You may retake the exam if necessary, and NobleCE provides clear instructions to ensure you remain in compliance.
Mobile-Friendly CE Options That Fit Your Schedule
All NobleCE courses are mobile-friendly, so you can study and complete your CE from any device. Whether you're at the office, between client appointments, or relaxing at home, your progress is automatically saved, and your course is always accessible.
Busy Alabama agents love our intuitive platform and flexible learning format that adjusts to your pace.
Approved Providers vs. Unapproved Risk: Why It Matters
Only CE courses from Alabama-approved providers are valid toward license renewal. Taking a course from an unapproved source-or failing to follow Alabama’s exam and proctoring rules-can result in lost credit hours and jeopardize your license. NobleCE is fully approved in Alabama for 2025 and follows all state-mandated delivery, exam, and reporting requirements.
Check Your CE Transcript and Credit Hours
You can check your CE transcript at any time through the state’s license management portal. This transcript shows how many credit hours you’ve completed, how many remain, and whether ethics, annuity, LTC, or flood course requirements are still outstanding. NobleCE also provides instant course completion certificates for your records and fast reporting to the state so your transcript stays current.
Avoiding CE Penalties and Lapsed Licenses
In Alabama, your insurance license renews every two years on the last day of your birth month. CE must be completed before your renewal deadline. There is no automatic grace period. Late renewals may trigger additional fees, delays, or license expiration. Completing your CE early-ideally at least 30 days before your renewal date-gives you peace of mind and protects your ability to keep selling.
