  • Amendment/Changes
    • 3AAC 23.140(2) was changed, effective, December 28, 2008, to allow a licensee to repeat a continuing education course, seminar, or program of instruction for credit, as long as the course, seminar, or program of instruction is not taken within the same license renewal period.
    • 3 AAC 23.100(a) was changed, effective July 25, 2008, to eliminate any continuing education requirements for persons holding a limited lines title, bail bond, or credit producer license. However, if a person holds both a limited lines and a producer license, the person must complete the continuing education requirement to renew the producer license.
    • 3 AAC 23.100(b) was amended, effective January 1, 2009 to require any person renewing an insurance license who is subject to the 24 continuing education credit hour requirement must have taken and reported at least three hours of business insurance ethics training as part of the continuing education credit hour requirement before the expiration date of the license.

  • Alaska's CE program is somewhat unique in that we will not pre-approve any seminars, courses, or programs of learning that are available in this state. Rather, the division has adopted regulations (rules) that identify applicability, acceptable course content and criteria, computation methods, record retention, and compliance responsibilities for compliance with CE. It is the licensee's responsibility to ensure the CE credits claimed comply with the regulations.
  • Under our regulations, a provider has minimal record keeping responsibilities for audit compliance purposes. The sponsor/provider is responsible for maintaining a course outline, record of attendance signed by the attendees of the course, ensure that the program is at least one credit hour (50 contact minutes) and a biographical information on the qualified instructor. We do not require any filings prior to offering the course or subsequent changes to the course.
  • Please be aware that the division is in the process of analyzing and updating our CE regulations, which would require the formal administrative process to approve a new regulation (rule). When that occurs, notice will be published.
