Refresher Training

8 Hours - Every 24 month license renewal period

EXCEPTION: If an advisor is NEWLY licensed, he will have to take the 8 hour every year for the first 4 years of his license.  After the 4th year, he will be required to take the 8 hour refresher every 24 month license renewal period.

New Life Insurance Training Requirement as of 1-1-2025

The NEW Life training requirements are listed below: 

  • Agents licensed in CA after 1/1/2024 must complete a 4-hour Life CE course, if selling non-term life.
  • Agents licensed in CA before 1/1/2024 do not have to do the 4-hour Life CE course.
  • All agents regardless of initial license date must do a 2-hour Variable life course starting 1/1/2025, and every two years thereafter, if selling variable life.

Both courses can be completed where you normally complete your CE training.  We recommend using WEBCE.  The courses can be found under "Product Training".  The 4 hour is called "California Life Insurance Policies Training" and the 2 hour (for variable sales) is called "California Variable Life Insurance Policies".

For more details on California's licensing and CE requirements, please visit the California Department of Insurance website.

Training Reciprocity Between States

Training/Lapse Guidelines

Lapse in training is allowed

California Training is not Clearcert certified and therefore will not always show up on a Clearcert report.

Annuity

To sell Annuity products, Annuity and Best Interest training is required as well as Product Training with both Global Atlantic and OneAmerica.  Requirements and rules vary by state.  Please reach out to licensing to get help with the requirements and product codes for the Product Training requirement at licensing@ltcipartners.com
