A Licensee must complete 15 credits of CE during each biennial licensing period.
Q: Will I get credit for a CE course I took in a previous licensing period?
A: You should not repeat any course already reported for CE credit. Beginning with licenses renewing on or after February 1, 2009, you will no longer be able to renew your license if you report a course that was completed in an earlier licensing period. The Department is in the process of creating a page on our website where you will be able to view your CE course completion history. Notification will be provided when this service is available.

Flood Insurance Training Requirements and Providers
for Property & Casualty Insurance Producers
Section 207 of the Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004 requires all producers selling flood insurance policies under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to be properly trained and educated about the NFIP to ensure producers may best serve their clients.
In order to continue their authority to solicit, negotiate, or sell flood insurance, all New York licensed resident insurance producers who sell flood insurance policies through the NFIP must comply with the minimum training requirements of section 207 of the Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004, and basic flood education as outlined at 70 Fed. Reg., 52,117 (Sept. 1, 2005) or such later requirements as published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The failure to comply with this basic training requirement may jeopardize the producer’s authority to write insurance through the NFIP.
