What Is Insurance Continuing Education?
Continuing education consists of Idaho-approved courses that help insurance professionals stay up-to-date on ethics, state law, products like annuity, flood, and long-term care. CE is required every two years to uphold industry competence and compliance.
Who Needs to Complete CE in Idaho?
Resident producers (accident and health, casualty, life, personal lines, surety), bail agents, independent adjusters, and public adjusters must complete CE. Non-residents are exempt if they meet CE requirements in their home state. Limited-line producers often qualify for exemption.
