Since 1993 the Florida Insurance Code requires agents to complete a Continuing Education course to be legally able to renew appointments. The continuing education requirements since the time have become mandatory for any and all agents seeking to apply for a license or who are sitting for the licensing examination.
However, in 2012 amendments were made to the existing framework in favor of the industrial trends. Florida’s recent CE requirements have been revised with the intention to reduce the burden on the insurance producers and adjusters alike. With the sole exception of “dental representatives” who have a limited health agent license, it applies universally to all other agents.
