REQUIRED HOURS

• Alaska licensed Producers and Adjusters are required to take 24 hours of CE, including 3 hours of ethics, every 2-year license term.

The license term is every 2 years based on the licensee’s date of birth. Licensees who are born in an even year will renew on even years, those born in an odd year will renew on odd years. Alaska allows 8 excess credits to be carried forward into the next licensing period. A course may not be taken for credit more than once in a 2-year license term.

CATEGORY RESTRICTIONS

Licensees may take an approved course in any line of authority to obtain their Continuing Education credits, but it is recommended that they take courses pertaining to their license type. No more than 8 credit hours may be in management, marketing, sales, and training. Management, marketing, sales and training credits cannot carry over. Ethics credits will carry over as general credits.

SPECIAL TRAINING

• LONG TERM CARE TRAINING - Before a Producer can sell or solicit Long Term Care Insurance they must complete an 8-hour course in Long Term Care Training. Producers must then complete a 4-hour ongoing training requirement every 24 months following the initial completion date of the 8-hour training.

• ANNUITY TRAINING – Alaska producers must take a course approved for at least 4 hours before selling or soliciting any annuity products. This requirement is separate from the indexed annuity requirement.

• FLOOD INSURANCE TRAINING – Alaska licensed producers who sell National Flood Insurance Policies are required to take a one-time 3-hour course on Flood Insurance.

COURSE PRESENTATION

• PROGRESSIVE – Licensees must progress through the course by topic.

• CERTIFICATION EXAM – Licensees are required to pass the certification exam with a 70% or better.

• STUDY BY TOPIC QUIZZES – ExamFX requires that all Study by Topic quizzes be passed with at least a score of 1%.

• LICENSEE ATTESTATION – The licensee attestation must be completed following the certificate exam.

CERTIFICATES OF COMPLETION AND REPORTING

Licensees may print their certificate directly from the course after completing the course requirements. Completions are normally reported within two (2) business days of the certificate having been issued. There is a state charge of $1.00 per credit hour in order to report completions. This fee will be charged prior to accessing the certification exam.

NONRESIDENT PRODUCERS

Nonresidents who have completed their CE requirement in their home state will be deemed compliant for Alaska’s continuing education requirement. Nonresident Adjusters are exempt if they have complete the requirements in their home state and remain in good standing; however, being licensed and remaining good standing in their home state does not deem the producer compliant if there is no adjuster CE requirement. If that is the case, adjusters must comply with Alaska’s adjuster continuing education requirement.

CE EXEMPTIONS

The following are exempt from Alaska CE requirements:

• Nonresidents who have met their home state CE requirements.

• Producers who were licensed prior to January 1, 1980

• An individual who holds a temporary license

• A producer who holds a limited lines license, is retired, or travel license

LICENSE RENEWAL

Producers can renew online at http://www.nipr.com/. Producers may renew their license up to 90 days before the respective due date.
