New CE Training Requirements in California

The state of California has implemented a new continuing education requirement, effective immediately, for all producers licensed in California on or after January 1, 2024. This new course, the “Life Insurance 4-hour course,” is a one-time requirement that must be completed before soliciting any business in 2025. 

In addition, there is a new two-hour training course for producers who sell variable life insurance. This course must be completed before their next variable license renewal in 2025, and that is also required for each license renewal thereafter. 

Both courses can be completed where you normally complete your CE training. For more details on California’s licensing and CE requirements, please visit the California Department of Insurance website.
