DE Continuing Education

Here's the information you need to know to maintain and renew your producer license:

  • GENERAL REQUIREMENT - Producers are required to complete twenty-four (24) credit hours of continuing education

ETHICS - Of the 24 hours required, three (3) must be in ethics -- biennially by February 28th of every even year. (A newly licensed producer does not need to earn any continuing education credits in the first two years in which he becomes licensed if he was licensed after the beginning of a CE cycle, which is March 1st of every even year.)

  • LTC - If the resident producer holds a health license and solicits long term care policies, as part of his/her biennial requirement, the producer must complete at least three (3) hours of training in Delaware long term care insurance that consists of product knowledge, laws, rules and regulations.

  • FLOOD - Any resident licensee who is authorized to write homeowners' or personal lines coverage must complete a two (2) hour continuing education course related to flood insurance and the National Flood Insurance Program.

  • A course can only be credited once during a CE cycle. If a course is repeated in the same licensing period, it will only count once.

  • License renewals are mailed to the licensees 90 days prior to the due date.

  • Both resident and non-resident licensees may renew electronically.  The renewal notice will provide information on how to renew on-line.

  • Your agency needs to have a procedure to make sure that the partnership or corporation and all individuals’ expiration dates in the agency are logged and monitored to assure that no licenses expire without being renewed.

  • If you are a resident and you have not received your CE transcript or if you are a nonresident and you have not received your memo by mid-November, you should call the Insurance Department. The time to notify the Insurance Department is before your license expires.
