Continuing-education requirements for Insurances in Vermont

Resident producers must complete 24 CE credit hours per two-year renewal cycle, of which at least 3 hours must be in ethics. Property and casualty producers must also satisfy a one-time 3-hour flood insurance course; the flood and ethics hours count toward (not in addition to) the 24-hour total. Producers who sell long-term care (LTC) insurance must additionally complete a one-time 8-hour LTC training (at least 2 hours Vermont-specific) plus no less than 4 hours of ongoing LTC training every 24 months; resident LTC training can count toward the 24-hour CE requirement if it meets CE course-approval rules. The CE review period coincides with the license term and ends March 31 of odd years.

Good to know: Vermont's insurance regulator is the Department of Financial Regulation (DFR), not a standalone "Department of Insurance." Renewals are submitted through NIPR; DFR does not mail out a renewed license (status is verified via State Based Systems). The renewal fee of $30 is confirmed on the official producer license page (paper application lists a $30 application fee and $30 license fee); the DFR also publishes a producer fee chart PDF, but that chart primarily lists fees Vermont residents pay to other states for nonresident licenses. No explicit flat late fee is published; if CE is not satisfied by March 31 of an odd year without an extension, DFR will not renew the license, and a granted-extension failure leads to suspension. Resident initial applicants must pass a written exam; this record covers renewal of a standard resident individual producer, not adjusters, business entities, or initial licensing.
