South Dakota Insurance Continuing Education Requirements

A Complete Guide for 2025

If you are a licensed insurance producer in South Dakota, completing your continuing education (CE) by your renewal deadline is key to keeping your license active with the Division of Insurance. In 2025, understanding how to meet CE requirements efficiently-through NobleCE’s mobile-friendly platform, bundle pricing options, and instant state reporting-can help you complete your CE fast and hassle-free.

What Is Insurance Continuing Education?

Insurance continuing education consists of state-approved courses that ensure producers stay informed on ethics, laws, and product changes. South Dakota requires CE every two years to maintain professional competency and safeguard consumer interests.

Who Needs to Complete CE in South Dakota?

Resident producers with Life/Health or Property/Casualty licenses must complete CE. Those with both lines need CE for each. Crop-only producers require a smaller 4-hour requirement. Nonresident licensees are exempt from general CE but must still meet special training requirements if they sell niche products here. Certain limited licensees, attorneys, and long-time licensees may also qualify for exemptions.

South Dakota Insurance CE Requirements Overview

South Dakota has tiered CE requirements based on license type:

  • Life or Health only: 10 hours
  • Property or Casualty only: 10 hours
  • Combined Life/Health & Property/Casualty: 20 hours (with at least 10 hours in each line)
  • Crop only: 4 hours
  • Crop + major lines: Split between crop and major lines accordingly.

No credits may be carried over into the next cycle, and repeating a course in the same two-year term is prohibited.

Special Requirements for Certain Licensees

You must complete certain specialty courses before offering certain products:

  • Annuities: A one-time 4-hour annuity best-interest training course is required.
  • Long Term Care (LTC): An 8-hour initial LTC partnership course, followed by 4 hours of ongoing training every renewal cycle. If your initial course was in another state, you must take South Dakota’s 1-hour Medicaid addendum.
  • Flood Insurance: You must complete a one-time 3-hour NFIP flood training course before selling flood policies.

When Is the CE Deadline in South Dakota?

CE must be completed by the last day of your birth month, every two years. There is no grace period; failure to complete requirements on time results in license lapse.

How to Find Approved CE Courses in South Dakota

Only South Dakota-approved courses count. NobleCE is an approved provider offering:

  • Targeted courses and a 10-hour bundle
  • Mobile-friendly, self-paced platform
  • Specialty training for annuities, LTC, and flood
  • Instant reporting to Sircon within one business day

Step-by-Step: How to Complete Your South Dakota Insurance CE

  1. Check your CE deadline based on birth month
  2. Select NobleCE’s South Dakota-approved courses or 10-hour bundle
  3. Complete courses online at your convenience
  4. Take the open-book exam-no proctor required
  5. Pass with at least 70 percent; unlimited retakes allowed.
  6. Receive your certificate immediately
  7. NobleCE reports completion to Sircon (state) within one business day-while state rules allow up to 14 days.

What Happens If You Miss the CE Deadline?

If CE is not completed by your renewal date, your license will lapse and appointments will terminate. To reinstate, you must complete your CE, pay renewal fees, and submit your renewal through Sircon.

CE Exemptions and Extensions

Exemptions are possible for:

  • Limited license holders for credit-related lines
  • Resident attorneys
  • Producers licensed over 10 years and age 65+
  • Those licensed after 9/30 of an odd year
  • Nonresidents and certain limited license holders such as surety or bail bonds producers

Exempt producers must notify the Division in writing.

How to Check Your CE Transcript

Visit Sircon’s South Dakota portal to confirm your CE transcript, completed specialty training, and ensure your hours are recorded before renewal. NobleCE reports by the next business day.
