If you are an Alabama producer licensed only for lines of authority for which an examination is not required, or if you hold a professional designation that would exempt you from normal pre-licensing requirements, you are not required to take AL CE courses. Additionally, producers licensed for at least 15 years and over 60 years of age are exempt from continued CE requirements.
Any member of the Alabama state legislature during any portion of of the license reporting period is also exempt from the insurance continuing education requirement.
Under federal law, even exempt individuals must take the required LTC course before they can begin selling long term care policies.
The same course cannot count twice in one reporting period. Non-resident licensees who comply with home state CE requirements are exempt. Producers are not required to take courses related to their licensed lines of authority, any approved course is acceptable.
