How to Search for Approved CE Courses
Looking for continuing education (CE) courses to be sure you get all your
hours completed? Our online course search can easily help you out and lists
those courses approved by the Department.
- Go to our website at
www.MyFloridaCFO.com/Agents
- Click on Education Central on the left.
- Click on Find a CE Course in the left column.
This will open the CE Course Search.
- Select the Course Authority for the type of
license held or course you need to take.
- You can also make other choices, like Study Method
and Location, to narrow your search results.
- If you click on Perform an Advanced Search, you
will have additional options to narrow your search results, such as
Course Date and Course Level.
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
MyProfile
account to determine your individual continuing education compliance
requirements and status.
Clarifications to Misconceptions Regarding Your CE Status Screen
To help our licensees in understanding the information provided on their
CE evaluation screen, we would like to address some common
misconceptions in reading this page. To get there, first log in to your MyProfile
account. Then on the left just below your license number you will see a
button that reads "CE Status". Click on that button to view your CE
evaluation screen.
- The total hours needed that is listed on the bottom of the screen is all I need to
be concerned about.
- False. The total hours needed is the sum of all the specific requirements.
You will need to read the full screen above that line to see what
specific courses you need to take. For example:
- Life agents must complete at least 3 hours of Senior Suitability each compliance period as part of their overall requirement.
- Property and casualty agents must complete 3 hours in Ethics and 1 hour in Premium Discount Mitigation each compliance period as part of their overall requirement.
- Adjusters must complete 10 hours of Law & Policy and 2 hours of Ethics as part of their overall requirement.
- If I see "Requirement Satisfied" on the bottom of the page that
means I've met my CE requirement.
- False. "Requirement Satisfied" only means you completed all your
hours. It does not mean that you met all your hours on time.
If you were late in completing your hours, you may be
subject to a fine. The only indicator that you met all the
necessary requirements for the compliance period is seeing
the text that reads "In Compliance" (in a green color)
just above your evaluation screen.
- The first page tells me all the information I need to know.
- False. The first page only provides information for the current
compliance period. To view pertinent information from
a previous compliance period, click the drop down menu in the
field with the compliance period date and select a previous
period to view that respective information.
- The amount of hours I see credited to me on the evaluation screen are all
the hours I'm getting for that course.
- False. Sometimes extra hours from a course will not be credited to that
period because you've maxed out the hours for that specific
requirement. What you see applied on a compliance period screen are the
hours credited to that compliance period. To view all the hours
creditable for a course, click and view your transcript. The transcript
can be viewed by clicking "Transcripts" located at the top left corner of
the page.
- If I don't see another compliance period showing after I
finished all my current CE hours that means I'm done with my CE
requirement.
- False. As long you maintain a license you will continue to have
a CE requirement every two years. Your next compliance period
will not be viewable until 45 days after the end of your
previous compliance cycle.
We wish you well as you continue to complete your hours to keep your knowledge current in an ever changing insurance market. And remember, your CE
compliance date is your DUE date, not your DO
date.
