- Lo que debe saber acerca de su educación continua
Compliance cycles, ending October 31, 2014 and later, rolled out new continuing education requirements for Florida licensees. The main course being offered in the new compliance cycle is the 5-hour Law and Ethics course. Florida licensees are required to complete a 5-hour Law and Ethics course applicable to their license type. Please note title insurance agents are not included in the 5-hour course requirement and therefore, must complete courses that are approved in the line of title insurance.
What about all of those other courses listed? These courses are elective credits available in the new compliance cycle. An elective course is any approved continuing education course. Public adjusters are required to complete elective courses designed specifically for them.
The Department’s new guidelines allow you to learn more about topics that interest you. Some examples of topics that you can learn more about include: risk management, disaster preparedness, ethics, policy contracts, current case law and much more!

To be CE compliant requires more than just taking CE courses. Below are a few suggestions for remaining CE compliant:
We wish you success in completing your hours to remain knowledgeable in an ever-changing insurance market. And remember, your CE compliance date is your DUE date, not your DO de la agencia.
Because many factors may affect your continuing education requirement (e.g. licenses held, number of years licensed, etc.), we encourage you to periodically check your Mi Perfil account to determine your individual continuing education compliance requirements and status. You will also be able to find more approved CE courses after logging in to your Mi Perfil account versus the public search option, which limits the results to the first 100 course offerings.
