Continuing Education
License Term
The license term is every 2 years, based on the last day of the producer’s birth month.
CE Subject Requirements
Producers must complete 3 hours in approved ethics courses. All other hours may be completed by taking courses approved only for the line of authority licensed for. For L/H and P/C combined licenses, producers are required to complete at least 6 hours in each line of authority.
Exam Proctor Requirements
Courses are required to be monitored by a disinterested third party. A disinterested third party is an individual with no family or financial relationship to the student. Therefore a proctor should not serve for examinations of family members, relatives, or dependents; employers or supervisors; employees or subordinates; partners, joint ventures, or co-owners; or anyone in whom the proctor or instructor has an economic or other interest in assuring the successful outcome of the examination.
The final exam must be closed book, and no outside information may be used to complete the exam. For online courses, once the exam is opened, access to the course material is restricted until the exam has been graded. The final exam must be passed with a score of 70 percent or higher to receive credit. If the final exam is not passed on the first attempt, students have an unlimited number of retakes.
CE Carryover Allowance
Excess CE hours are not allowed to be carried forward to the next 2-year license term.
Course Repetition Rules
A course may not be taken for credit more than once within a 2-year license term.
Certificate of Completion
AOIS provides online, printable certificates of completion in DC. Certificates of completion will be available to print online immediately after the final exam is passed. The producer must keep a copy of each certificate of completion in his or her files for the 2-year license term in which the CE was completed.
CE Completion Reporting
AOIS usually reports course completions every business day.
License Renewal Process
Producers can renew their licenses online here.
CE Exemptions
Nonresident producers are not required to complete the District of Columbia CE requirements as long as the producer is in good standing with his or her home state.
