The license term ends on the last day of the licensee’s birth month, every 2 years. Producers must complete their continuing education 60 days prior the license expiration date to avoid penalty. Courses may not be taken more than once in a reporting period. New Hampshire does not allow excess credits to be carried forward into the next licensing period.

 

CATEGORY RESTRICTIONS

Producers may take any producer approved course; they may not take courses approved for adjusters only. Not more than 10 credits out of the 24 required may be in the category of Ethics.

 

SPECIAL TRAINING

• LONG TERM CARE PARTNERSHIP TRAINING - Before a producer can sell or solicit Long Term Care Insurance, producers must be licensed with a Life/Accident and Health or Sickness, or Life license and must complete an 8-hour course in Long Term Care Partnership Training. Producers must then complete a 4-hour ongoing training requirement every 2-year license term following the initial completion date of the 8-hour training.

• ANNUITY TRAINING – New Hampshire licensed producers must complete a state approved 4-hour Annuity Best Interest course before selling or soliciting any annuity products.
