North Carolina Insurance Continuing Education for Life and Health Professionals
North Carolina Life and Health insurance producers must complete continuing education every two years to keep their licenses active and in good standing. NobleCE offers North Carolina-approved online courses that make meeting your CE requirements simple, fast, and convenient.
What Is Life and Health Insurance CE?
Continuing education helps insurance professionals stay up to date with North Carolina laws, industry regulations, and ethical standards. Life and Health producers must complete 24 credit hours every two years. These hours include ethics and any product-specific training if you sell annuities or long-term care insurance.
Who Needs to Complete Insurance CE?
All resident Life and Health producers in North Carolina must complete 24 hours of CE every two years. The deadline to complete your CE is the last day of your birth month. If you were born in an even year, you renew in even years. If born in an odd year, you renew in odd years. Nonresident licensees may be exempt if they meet the CE requirements in their home state but must complete North Carolina-specific annuity and LTC training if they sell those products.
Top Questions Agents Ask About CE Courses
Is annuity training required in North Carolina?
If you sell annuities, you must complete a one-time four-hour Annuity and Best Interest training course before soliciting or selling annuity products. This course counts toward your 24-hour CE total.
Is long-term care training required in North Carolina?
Yes, but only if you sell long-term care insurance. Producers must complete an initial eight-hour LTC training course, followed by a four-hour refresher every two years to remain eligible to sell LTC products.
How many ethics hours are required?
North Carolina requires all Life and Health producers to complete three hours of ethics training as part of their 24-hour CE requirement.

You can fulfill your entire CE requirement online through NobleCE. Our North Carolina-approved courses include ethics, annuity, long-term care, and a wide range of electives. After each course, you must pass a final exam with a score of at least 70 percent to receive credit.
Do I Need to Pass a Final Exam
Yes. North Carolina requires a final exam for each online CE course. You must achieve a score of 70 percent or higher to pass. You may retake the exam as needed.
Mobile-Friendly CE Options That Fit Your Schedule

Approved Providers Versus Unapproved Risk Why It Matters
North Carolina requires all CE courses to be taken from providers approved by the Department of Insurance. Courses taken from unapproved providers will not count toward your license renewal. NobleCE is an approved provider, offering courses that meet all North Carolina regulations for 2025.
Check Your CE Transcript and Credit Hours
You can track your CE progress using North Carolina’s state licensing system. NobleCE reports your completed credit hours quickly and gives you instant access to your certificate once you pass your course.
Avoiding CE Penalties and Lapsed Licenses
Failure to complete your CE by the renewal deadline can lead to penalties, license suspension, or reinstatement fees. Make sure your CE is complete by the last day of your birth month every two years and verify your credit has been recorded by the state to avoid issues.
