Practice This Concept
An agent who has not completed the required continuing education before license renewal:
is not eligible to renew the license until the requirement is satisfied — Section 1749.3 of the California Insurance Code makes completion of approved continuing education a condition of license renewal. Producers must complete 24 hours of approved courses in each two-year renewal period, including 3 hours of ethics training. An agent who has not completed the required hours before the renewal date is not eligible to renew the license until the requirement is satisfied. The renewal process is tied to verification that the CE requirement has been met, so completing the courses is the gateway to continued licensure. There is no mechanism by which paying a fee or a fine substitutes for the substantive educational requirement, and no probationary license is available as an alternative.
