Agents in Michigan can meet their Michigan Insurance Continuing Education requirements online with MyCEonline.  For your convenience, we have provided an outline of insurance CE requirements for Michigan below.

Required Continuing Education Hours

Life and Health Producers

24 CE hours, including 3 hours of ethics, are required every 2-year license term (see License Term below). Producers planning to sell the following product(s) have special training or education requirements as described below:

Special Training/Education Requirements
Long-Term Care (LTC)

  • Initial 8-hour LTC training requirement: Before selling, soliciting, or negotiating LTC insurance products in Michigan, producers must complete an initial 8-hour, state-approved LTC training course. (Go to the course catalog to order one of MyCEonline/ WebCE’s courses, which fulfills this requirement.)
  • Ongoing 4-hour LTC training requirement: After completing the 8-hour initial training requirement, producers must complete 4 hours of state-approved LTC training every 24 months thereafter.  (Go to the course catalog to order one of MyCEonline/ WebCE’s courses, which fulfills this requirement.)

Property and Casualty Producers

24 CE hours, including 3 hours of ethics, are required every 2-year license term (see License Term below). Producers planning to sell the following product(s) have special training or education requirements as described below:

Special Training/Education Requirements
Flood Insurance

All Michigan producers who are authorized to sell flood insurance must complete a one-time, 3-hour course approved for National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) training. (Go to the course catalog to order MyCEonline/ WebCE’s National Flood Insurance Program: What You Must Know course, which fulfills this requirement.)

Roster Fees

A roster fee of $1.00 per credit hour ordered is required to process course completion hours in Michigan and will be added to the order total upon checkout.

Nonresident CE Requirements

Nonresident producers selling, soliciting, or negotiating LTC products are required to complete the same special training/education requirements as resident producers selling these products:

Special Training/Education Requirements

Long-Term Care (LTC)

  • Initial 8-hour LTC training requirement: Before selling, soliciting, or negotiating LTC insurance products in Michigan, producers must complete an initial 8-hour, state-approved LTC training course. (Go to the course catalog to order one of MyCEonline/ WebCE’s courses, which fulfills this requirement.)
  • Ongoing 4-hour LTC training requirement: After completing the 8-hour initial training requirement, producers must complete 4 hours of state-approved LTC training every 24 months thereafter.  (Go to the course catalog to order one of MyCEonline/ WebCE’s courses, which fulfills this requirement.)

License Term

The license term is every 2 years, based on the first day of the producer’s birth month in odd- or even-numbered years.

  • Producers born in an even-numbered year and whose last review date was in 2008 are required to complete their CE by the first day of their birth month in 2010 and every two years thereafter.
  • Producers born in an even-numbered year and whose last review date was in 2009 are required to complete their CE by the first day of their birth month in 2012 and every two years thereafter.
  • Producers born in an odd-numbered year and whose last review date was in 2008 are required to complete their CE by the first day of their birth month in 2011 and every two years thereafter.
  • Producers born in an odd-numbered year are required to complete their CE by the first day of their birth month in 2011 and every two years thereafter.
  • Newly licensed producers born in an even-numbered year and licensed in 2008 are required to complete their CE by the first day of their birth month in 2010 and every two years thereafter.
  • Newly licensed producers born in an even-numbered year and licensed in 2009 are required to complete their CE by the first day of their birth month in 2012 and every two years thereafter.
  • Newly licensed producers born in an odd-numbered year are required to complete their CE by the first day of their birth month in 2011 and every two years thereafter.

CE Subject Requirements

  • Category restrictions: Licensees must complete 3 hours in approved ethics courses. All other hours may be completed by taking courses approved in any line of authority.   Any excess ethics hours taken during a license term will apply during that license term as general credit(s).
  • Course presentation: Producers may complete the CE requirements through self-study. The self-study course and exam can be either paper or online.
  • Study requirements: Students should read the course material prior to taking the final exam.

Final Exam Requirements

  • Exam proctor requirements: Exams are required to be monitored by a disinterested third party. A disinterested third party is an individual with no family or financial relationship to the student; therefore, he or she shall not serve for examinations of family members, relatives, or dependents; employers or supervisors; employees or subordinates; partners, joint ventures, or co-owners; or anyone in whom the proctor or instructor has an economic or other interest in assuring the successful outcome of the examination.
  • Exam rules: The final exam is closed book, and no outside information may be used to complete the exam. The final exam must be passed with a score of 70 percent or higher to receive credit. If the final exam is not passed on the first attempt, students have an unlimited number of retakes.

CE Carryover Allowance

No excess CE credit hours may be carried over to the next 2-year license term.

Course Repetition Rules

A course may not be taken for credit more than once within a 2-year license term.

Certificate of Completion

MyCEonline/ WebCE provides online, printable certificates of completion in Michigan. Certificates of completion will be available to print online immediately after the final exam is passed. A producer must keep copies of each certificate of completion in his or her files for 5 years after course completion. Do not send the certificates of completion to the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation.

CE Completion Reporting

Next-day reporting - WebCE reports course completions to Prometric every business day.

License Renewal Process

Renewal invoices are no longer generated for resident or nonresident producers.  The license is perpetual as long as the resident completes the Michigan CE requirements and the nonresident holds the appropriate home state resident license in good standing.

CE Exemptions

The following individuals are exempt from CE requirements:

  • Those who hold a limited life license
  • Those who hold a turkey, crop, and hail license
  • Those who hold a travel, accident, and baggage license
  • Those who hold a title license
  • Those who hold a credit products license
