Updated: 3/6/2012

Continuing Education Hours

• 24 hours biennially, including 3 hours of ethics.
• Producers finishing a 4-year license will need to have completed 48 CE hours in order to renew the license. 6 hours of the required 48 CE hours must be in fraud/ethics. A 2-year license will be issued at renewal.
• All Public Adjusters initially licensed after July 4, 2011, as well as all Public Adjusters who are renewing a license that has transitioned into a 2 year license, must fulfill 15 CE hours every 2 year license term.

Course Subject Requirements

• Any course approved for CE in NJ may be taken for credit.
• 3 hours must be taken in Ethics.
• Property producers selling flood must also complete a 3 hour training class on flood insurance and the NFIP.

• Agents wishing to sell LTC must also complete a 8-hourLTC requirement prior to selling LTC products. The LTC requirement counts towards the completion of the basic CE requirement. By the end of each consecutive renewal period, agents must complete a 4-hour "refresher" state-approved LTC course to continue selling LTC.

Continuing Education Compliance Date

License renewal.

License Renewal Date

• Renewal dates on licenses issued prior to 01/01/07 are based on license issuance date every 4 years.
• Jan-March: 1/31
• April-June: 4/30
• July-Sept: 7/31
• Oct-Dec: 10/31
• Note: A license will not be issued for a period of more than 4 years. If a license is initially issued where the standard calendar quarter renewal date would cause the license term to exceed 4 years, the license expiration date will be set in the preceding quarter.
• Licenses issued or renewed after 01/01/07 will renew on the last day of the producers birth month every other year. Initial licenses and licenses transitioned to the new renewal periods will expire at the end of the birth month in the year that will result in a license term at least 18 months in duration.

Type of courses accepted for CE Credit

Self-study, Classroom study, or online courses.

Carryover Requirements

Carryover of excess CE credit hours is NOT allowed.

Course Repetition

Courses may not be taken for credit more than once in a license term. This rule applies to any variation of course types (self-study, classroom equivalent, etc).

Final Exam
