Required Hours
Producers in Maine are required to take 24 hours of CE, including 3 hours of Ethics, every 2-year license term. Licensees must renew on or before the last day of the licensee’s birth month every 2 years. Licensees who are born in an even year will renew on even years, those born in an odd year will renew on odd years. No carry over credits are allowed and a course cannot be taken more than once in a reporting period. CE credits taken to complete a previous license term deficiency will not count for the current license cycle.
NOTE: Be sure to complete all of your CE credit hours BEFORE submitting your license renewal application.
Category Restrictions
Students may take an approved course in any line of authority to obtain their CE credits, but it is recommended that they take courses pertaining to their license type.
