Licensed insurance professionals in Kansas, including producers, adjusters, and certain limited licensees, must complete continuing education (CE) every two years to maintain active licensure. NobleCE offers mobile-friendly courses, bundle pricing, and instant reporting to help you complete your CE fast and stay compliant.
What Is Insurance Continuing Education?
Continuing education refers to state-approved courses designed to keep licensees current on ethics, product updates, Kansas insurance law, and industry regulations. CE ensures professionals remain knowledgeable and able to serve consumers effectively.
Who Needs to Complete CE in Kansas?
Resident producers and adjusters must complete CE every two years. Some limited-line license holders may have reduced requirements or exemptions. Non-resident licensees are exempt if they meet CE requirements in their home state. Public adjusters, crop hail adjusters, and title insurance producers have separate hour requirements.
