PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THESE PROVISIONS, EFFECTIVE 1/1/10

Anyone who holds a producer license from the state of Illinois must accumulate 24 hours of continuing education credits over the two-year license period to renew her/his license. There are no exceptions.  It is recommended that you earn 12 hours each year.  Your 24 hours of continuing education must include a three-hour, classroom-based Ethics seminar.


HOW CREDIT IS EARNED FOR ISC CLASSES

(See individual seminars for continuing education hours credited)

Courses whose credit is based on classroom attendance only may receive one hour of credit for each approved hour of attendance, even though no examination is taken or given to the student.—Illinois Department of Insurance

Students taking CPCU, IIA, INS, INTRO, or RPLU classes can earn C.E. credit for insurance producer license renewal based upon class attendance or by passing national examinations.  The student may not use both.  Classroom attendance is usually preferable.  One hour of class time equals one hour of C.E. credit, subject to a maximum of twelve (12) hours per class.

Illinois resident producers may use these credits for their non-resident license requirements in most jurisdictions, based upon reciprocity with Illinois.  When in doubt, contact the Illinois Division of Insurance or the Insurance Department in the specific state involved.


CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CPD)
PROGRAM FOR CPCUs

Continuing Professional Development for CPCUs is a program designed to encourage and recognize all CPCUs who broaden their professional knowledge. A CPCU participates in this voluntary program by accumulating 60 points granted for certain professional and educational activities conducted over a period of 24 consecutive months.

For the latest in CPD information from the Institutes and the CPCU Society, check out their web sites at www.aicpcu.org and www.cpcusociety.org


COLLEGE CREDIT RECOMMENDATIONS OF
THE AMERICAN COUNCIL ON EDUCATION

These credit recommendations are not binding on any educational institution, but provide guidelines for Admissions Offices considering the award of credits to persons who have passed CPCU or IIA examinations. The recommendations are based on the level of mastery demonstrated by passing the Institutes’ national examinations rather than on course attendance.
