REQUIRED HOURS

Nebraska producers 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. Producers cannot take a course more than once within 2-year license term. Nebraska does not allow excess CE credits to be carried forward into the next license term.

 

CATEGORY RESTRICTIONS

Students must take approved courses in the line of authority in which they are licensed in.


SPECIAL TRAINING

• LONG TERM CARE PARTNERSHIP TRAINING - Before a Producer can sell or solicit Long Term Care Insurance they must hold a health and sickness and accident license and complete an initial 8 hours of state approved Long Term Care Training. Producers must then complete a state approved 4-hour ongoing training requirement every 2 years following the initial completion of the 8-hour training.

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

• ANNUITY TRAINING – Nebraska producers must take a course approved for at least 4 hours before selling or soliciting any annuity products.

Producers who hold a life license and desire to sell annuities are required to complete a one-time four credit best interest training course approved by the Department of Insurance and provided by a department approved education provider. Such producers who hold a life license on July 1, 2021 must within six months after July 1, 2021 complete the training course. Producers who have completed an annuity training course approved by the department prior to July 1, 2021 must within six months after July 1, 2021 complete either a new four-credit best interest training course approved by the department or an additional one-time one-credit update training course.
