Georgia Insurance Continuing Education Requirements
A Complete Guide for 2025
Georgia insurance professionals-including resident producers and adjusters-must complete continuing education (CE) every two years to maintain an active license. NobleCE makes it easy with mobile-friendly courses, bundle pricing options, and instant reporting to the Georgia Office of Commissioner of Insurance, so you can complete your CE fast and stay compliant.
What Is Insurance Continuing Education?
CE consists of authorized courses that help licensees stay informed on ethics, Georgia law, product updates, and regulatory changes. This ongoing education is required for license renewal to ensure professional competence and consumer protection.
Who Needs to Complete CE in Georgia?
All resident producers and adjusters must complete 24 hours of CE every two years. Non-resident licensees are exempt if they meet CE requirements in their home state. Limited-line license holders, surplus lines brokers, and consulting licensees are typically exempt unless otherwise noted.
Georgia Insurance CE Requirements Overview
- 24 total CE hours every two years
- Includes 3 hours of ethics
- At least 3 hours must focus on Georgia insurance law
- Final exams are closed-book and must be proctored by a disinterested third party
- A minimum passing score of 70 percent is required
- Unlimited exam retakes are allowed
- Courses may not be repeated in the same renewal period
- Up to 12 excess hours may carry forward into the next cycle
Special Requirements for Certain Licensees
Georgia requires additional training for select products:
- Annuity Training: A one-time 4-hour annuity suitability and best-interest course is required before selling annuities
- Long-Term Care (LTC): An 8-hour initial LTC partnership course is required, followed by a 4-hour refresher every two years
- Flood Insurance: A one-time 3-hour National Flood Insurance Program course is required before issuing flood policies
These specialty courses count toward your total CE hours when completed within the current renewal cycle.
When Is the CE Deadline in Georgia?
All required CE must be completed by the last day of your birth month, every two years. Ensure your courses are finished and reported before that deadline to avoid renewal delays.
How to Find Approved CE Courses in Georgia
Only courses approved by the Georgia Office of Commissioner of Insurance count toward CE. NobleCE offers fully approved, mobile-accessible, self-paced courses and full 24-hour bundles. Completions are reported instantly to the state.

What Happens If You Miss the CE Deadline?

CE Exemptions and Extensions
Exemptions may apply to non-residents in good standing with home-state CE, certain limited-line license holders, and licensees with 20+ years of service (reducing the required total hours). Extensions may be granted for military service or medical hardship if requested prior to the deadline.
How to Check Your CE Transcript
You can view your CE transcript through Sircon or the Georgia DOI licensing portal. Confirm that all general, ethics, law, and specialty credits are accurately recorded. Retain your completion certificates for at least four years in case of audit.
