Continuing Insurance Training and Education
Once you’ve passed a licensing exam of any kind, there will be requirements in order to
maintain that license.
For compliance purposes, you will be required to complete training and take part in continuing
education so that your licensing can renew and stay current throughout the years while you are
registered.
If for some reason you fail to complete required continuing education and training, your license
could lapse. In some cases (differs by state), you may have to take the exam again in order to
re-establish your licensing.
The Importance of Continuing Education
So why is continuing education so important? With insurance and securities licensing, the
thought is that regulations are always changing and you are working with people’s money.
They’ve entrusted you with their finances so you are held accountable for this position.
Continuing education is a great way to make sure you are aware of changes in the field while
also reminding you of some of the things you may not see in your day-to-day activities.
It’s a great reminder for compliance, changes, and important details related to the field.
Continuing education keeps you in the know, making sure you are at the forefront of your
industry and not falling behind as changes come about in the industry.
Planning for Continuing Education
The requirements for continuing education may vary in different states or it may vary
depending on the license which you hold as well. When it comes to continuing insurance
training and education, you need to be sure you understand what your requirements will be.
It’s pretty common to push CE to the side and then try to do it all at the last minute. Chances
are you had big aspirations but just get busy and then need to finish your continuing education
quickly.
Find a resource that will have quick and easy materials for you to access. Look at all your
options, such as webinars, online courses or possibly even in classroom.
The important thing is to not let your CE lapse as this will negatively affect your licensing
depending on what state you are in.
