A maximum of 12 excess credit hours (taken during the second half of the license term) can be carried forward into the next licensing period. Producers may not take a course more than once in a 2-year licensing term.
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.
