With the completion of the 2019-2020 biennium, the CE Continuance fee will no longer be charged to licensees. In its place, the Board will be collecting a per course credit hour fee for each credit hour reported by a provider. The new fee is effective for all courses/credits reported on or after February 1, 2021. The fee is $2.60 per individual per course credit hour.

Agents must complete:  16 credits/hours for one license specific to the license type. 24 CE credits/hours for two or more licenses with at least eight (8) credits/hours applicable to each license type.

Resident agents must complete at least three credit hours of Ethics (which may include Insurance Law and Regulations) in each biennium. Ethics courses categorized as Other General Insurance (OGI) credits will not be applied to the Ethics requirement.

Annuity Best Interest: On June 11, 2021, the Virginia State Corporation Commission entered an Order Adopting Amendments to Rules, revising the Rules Governing Suitability in Annuity Transactions at Chapter 45 of Title 14 of the Virginia Administrative Code. Changes are effective September 1, 2021. A producer who engages in the sale of annuity products shall complete a one-time four (4)-credit training course approved by the board and provided by a board-approved education provider. An agent who has completed an annuity suitability four (4)-hour course prior to September 1, 2021, must by March 1, 2022, complete a four (4)-hour or one (1)-hour annuity suitability best interest course. The satisfaction of training requirements of another state that are substantially similar are deemed to satisfy the training requirements of Virginia.
