New CE Rules
For California Agents Renewing After 2/19/2015
Effective 2/19/2015, California insurance continuing education will change. DON’T WORRY! Despite emails and letters from other companies trying to generate panic sales, you WILL NOT have to take closed book exams or suffer through countless practice questions when taking CE from us.

Ethics training is part of, not in addition to, the California resident agent’s current continuing education requirement.
We have several courses that will satisfy your ethics requirement. See Courses 193, 171, 172, 173, 175, 142, 181 and 182.

Get the hours you need and ethics is included…almost like free ethics!
NOTE: Extra course hours may carry forward (see note below), but you still need “fresh” ethics hours EVERY renewal period, i.e. you can’t take a bunch of extra ethics hours and expect them to meet your ethics requirements for years to come.
SB 620 was signed into law on September 29, 2003.

Your Certificate of Completion for this course is authorization to begin selling. See Annuity 4-Hour Course below to continue your annuity training.
