Limited lines differ: Title Only = 4 hrs, Crop Only = 2 hrs, Pre-Need Only has no CE (files a biennial affirmation instead). Line-specific training: P&C or Personal lines producers who sell NFIP flood insurance must complete a one-time NFIP course worth at least 3 CE hours (counts toward, not on top of, the biennial requirement); a Long-Term Care training requirement applies to producers marketing Long-Term Care Partnership policies (K.A.R. 40-4-37v); and producers selling annuities must meet a 4-hour best-interest annuity training under K.A.R. 40-1-53 (effective Jan 1, 2024). CE completions are submitted electronically to NAIC's State Based System (SBS) by the provider; the Department does not accept certificates from producers.
