If you have been licensed for less than three years, and this will be your first renewal, you need to complete 60 hours of continuing education. This package satisfies the full 60 hours of CE and includes the required 3 hours of ethics training. An exam will follow each major section to test your knowledge.

Finally, we'll cover the 2004 Flood Insurance Reform Act (FIRA) and talk about other agent resources.
Next, the course will take on the topic of annuities. You'll learn about the different types of annuities that are available, who the parties to an annuity are, and the typical provisions annuity contracts contain. We'll also compare equity-indexed and variable annuities, before covering taxation of annuities, and sales and marketing practices to employ.
The course concludes with a more in-depth look at long-term care policies. Areas we'll cover include the appropriate way to build a long-term care policy, tax-qualified plans and non-tax-qualified plans, alternatives to LTC insurance, and the NAIC model LTCi Act.
