South Dakota Insurance Continuing Education for Life and Health Professionals
Licensed insurance producers in South Dakota must meet specific continuing education (CE) requirements every two years. NobleCE makes it simple to stay compliant and renew your Life and Health license with online CE courses that are mobile-friendly, state-approved, and designed to fit your schedule.
What Is Life and Health Insurance CE?
South Dakota insurance continuing education ensures producers stay current on ethical practices, policy updates, and sales requirements. If you're licensed for Life and Health insurance in the state, CE is a mandatory part of maintaining your license and staying qualified to offer certain products.
Who Needs to Complete Insurance CE?
South Dakota requires continuing education for all resident producers. If you hold only a Life and Health license, you must complete 10 total credit hours every two years. If you're licensed in both Life/Health and Property/Casualty, the requirement increases to 20 total credit hours. Your CE must be completed by the last day of your birth month, every two years.

Avoiding CE Penalties and Lapsed Licenses
Failing to complete CE by your deadline can result in license suspension or nonrenewal. To stay compliant, make sure all CE hours are completed and reported by the last day of your birth month, every two years. Starting early prevents last-minute stress and avoids costly penalties.
