If you want to get your insurance producers license, one of the requirements is to have a certain number of hours of continuing education. Each state has different requirements. The amount of Insurance Continuing Education you need in North Carolina 24 hours each 2-year period. In addition, a minimum of 3 hours have to be in Ethics.
Getting an insurance producer or adjuster license in North Carolina
In order to get your insurance producers license for North Carolina, there are a few things you need to do on top of your 24 credit hours.
- Complete a prelicensing course. Before you can take the official licensing test, you must pass a prelicensing course first. These require 10-20 hours of study and can be done through a classroom, online, or self-study. After passing the course, you can take the licensing exam.
- Pass the licensing exam. The licensing exam in North Carolina is 150 questions and is taken electronically. To pass this closed-book exam, you must get 70% or higher, a minimum score of 105.
- Apply for the license. Once you’ve passed the exam, the next step is to get fingerprinted and apply for the license. You will be assigned a unique identifier known as an NPN. The NPN is in place of a producer license number that some states use.
- Complete CE hours every 2 years and renew your license. You’ll need 24 hours of insurance continuing education in North Carolina to renew your license. Plan this out ahead of time so you have plenty of time to have it done by renewal time. If you don’t, you have 4 months to complete your CE hours with an additional $75 fee. Additionally, after 4 months the license expires and you have to start the steps from the beginning.
