What is Florida's requirement for continuing education to maintain an insurance license?

Florida requires insurance professionals to complete 24 hours of continuing education every two-year period to maintain their insurance license. This requirement is designed to ensure that agents and other insurance professionals stay current with industry changes, regulatory developments, and advancements in products and services. By mandating a set number of hours focused on relevant subjects within the insurance field, Florida aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of its licensed professionals, ultimately leading to better service for policyholders.

This structure also reflects a balance between maintaining adequate education without overwhelming the licensees with excessive yearly requirements, allowing for flexibility in scheduling while still committing to ongoing professional development.
