Why C is correct
Under 11 NCAC 6A .0802(a), together with G.S. 58-33-130, a licensee must complete 24 credit hours of continuing education in each biennial compliance period, of which 3 hours must be ethics. The requirement applies to life, accident and health, property, casualty, personal lines, variable, and adjuster licensees alike.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Fifteen credit hours is a figure from other jurisdictions' regimes; North Carolina requires 24 with three hours of ethics.
- B) Thirty hours with five of ethics overstates the rule on both counts; the North Carolina totals are 24 and 3.
- D) Twelve hours with no subject requirement understates the mandate and omits the mandatory three-hour ethics component.
Memory hook
CE every two years: 24 hours, and 3 of them are ethics.
