CONTINUING EDUCATION
REQUIREMENTS |
| |
|
All resident and non-resident
agents and brokers are required to meet the continuing education
requirements for Arkansas, although non-residents are exempt if their state
has mandatory continuing education law. |
| Your
continuing education summary is due annually at your license renewal, along
with a $ 10 filing fee. |
|
| The Insurance
Departments computer system will not allow the license to renew if the CE
has been filed. There is no grace period and extension on requirements are
granted only where there has been serious illness (you the agent or close
family members). If you request an extension you must provide a written
statement, and attach documentation from your doctor for the insurance
department to review. |
