Below is what the board requires and a comparison of course providers that offer qualifying CE. This is an unofficial guide — confirm any course is board-approved before you buy.
What Alaska requires for Insurance renewal
| CE hours required | 24 hours per cycle |
|---|---|
| Renewal cycle | 24 months |
| CE tracking system | NIPR (renewal) and NAIC State Based Systems / SBS (CE tracking); Pearson VUE for pre-license exams |
| Governing body | Alaska Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development - Division of Insurance |
Most resident individual producers who have held a license for a full two-year period must complete 24 CE credit hours per biennial renewal cycle, of which 3 hours must be in ethics. No more than 8 hours may be in management, marketing, sales, and training. Up to 8 excess hours may carry over to the next cycle (ethics carries over as general; mgmt/marketing/sales/training do not carry over). Product-specific training is also required before transacting certain lines: a one-time 4-hour annuity suitability course (requires life authority), a one-time 8-hour long-term care course plus a 4-hour LTC training each renewal cycle (requires health authority), and FEMA NFIP flood training for those selling flood policies (which may also count toward CE).
