Limitation on Repeat Examinations:

• Be sure to take advantage of XCEL’s 3-Part training program, including Part 2 (Prep Review Course) and Part 3 (Exam Simulator). These are the two sections we hear from students value the most during the exam waiting period.
  
  • Prep Review Course: This part of the training scales down content to focus solely on the most important material with weighted sections identical to the state exam. Chapters have only a few pages of material, but the content must be mastered to pass. Instructionally designed to teach individuals how to pass, most study effort should be invested here. Chapter exams are substantially larger (50+ questions), providing exposure to the types of questions seen on the state exam. 
    Exam Simulator: These special exams are designed to gauge content retention levels. Important: Only take the Exam Simulators after the Prep Review Course has been successfully completed. It ensures these questions will be “fresh in the mind.”  
• On the day of testing, you must present a valid government issued photo id and the certificate of completion.

All information is subject to change without notice.

Agents holding a Major Lines license (Property, Casualty, Personal Lines, Accident & Health, Life or Variable Products) are required to renew their license by the last day of their birth month every two years.

• On-going renewal periods are the last day of the agent’s birth month every two (2) years thereafter.

Continuing education requirements must be met before submitting the license renewal application. 

Licensees renewing a Property, Casualty, Personal Lines, Accident & Health, Life or Variable Products license are required to complete 24 hours of approved continuing education, 3 of which must be approved as ethics, before submitting their renewal application. 

The Georgia Department of Insurance requires specific training requirements for individual agents selling, soliciting, or negotiating Long-Term Care products (LTC), Flood Insurance products (NFIP), and Annuity products (Annuity). Failing to complete the required training may jeopardize the agent’s authority to sell the related insurance products.

• Life or Accident & Health licensees must complete an approved 8-hour Long-term Care course before selling, soliciting, or negotiating long-term care insurance. 
• Agents must also complete an approved 4-hour LTC refresher course every renewal period to continue selling, soliciting, or negotiating long-term care insurance. 
• The initial and refresher LTC course credits count towards the agent's 24-hour CE requirement. 
• Resident agents may complete these training requirements in any state provided the department has approved the course for long-term care credit prior to the agent taking the course. 
• Non-resident agents may complete these training requirements in any state. 

• Life or Variably Annuity licensees must complete an approved one-time 4-hour Annuity course before selling, soliciting, or negotiating annuity products.  
• Annuity course credits count towards the agent's 24-hour CE requirement. 
• Resident and non-resident agents may complete these training requirements in any state with laws substantially similar to Georgia. 

• Property and Casualty or Personal Lines licensees must complete an approved one-time 3-hour National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) course by the end of their first renewal period if they plan to sell, solicit, or negotiate Flood insurance. 
• The National Flood Insurance Program course credits count towards the agent's 24-hour CE requirement. 

• Licensees can use independent self-study courses to fill all requirements.
• Licensees must take courses in which the licensed is held.
• Self-study exams are closed book and require a monitor/proctor.
• Duplicate courses completed in the same renewal period are not allowed and cannot be carried over to future renewal cycles.
• Excess credits of up to 8 hours earned in the previous biennial renewal period can be carried over to the next reporting period.  

• Students must provide their National Producer Number (NPN) to report on course completion. 
• No roster per credit hour is required to report course completions to your state. 
• Course completions are reported within one business day. 

Resident and nonresident license renewal applications are processed through SIRCON. A $75 renewal fee is required. Agents with a continuing education requirement must obtain all required credits prior to their license expiration date. An agent will not be eligible to renew their insurance license(s) until they have satisfied their continuing education requirement.
