Why A is correct
Under 11 NCAC 6A .0802(a) together with G.S. 58-33-130, each producer must complete 24 ICECs of continuing education in every biennial compliance period, and 3 of those credit hours must be specifically in ethics. The ethics requirement applies across license lines including life, accident and health, and adjuster licensees, and courses may not be repeated for credit within the same biennial period.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) 15 hours is a lower continuing education figure used in other jurisdictions; North Carolina requires 24.
- C) Only 3 of the 24 hours must be ethics — the remaining 21 hours may be any approved continuing education coursework.
- D) 30 hours overstates the requirement; the statutory and regulatory total is 24 ICECs per biennial period.
Memory hook
24 every two years, and 3 of them must be ethics.
