Details

Producers receive credit only for producer-approved courses. Public adjuster courses do not count for producer CE.

Renewal checklist

  1. Confirm whether this is your first Massachusetts producer renewal or a later renewal.
  2. Complete the required total hours and include 3 ethics hours.
  3. If you hold P&C or Personal Lines and sell flood insurance, complete the one-time flood course.
  4. Allow enough time for CE credits to appear on your transcript before renewal.
  5. Renew only after the transcript supports compliance.

Compliance notes

  • Do not use the later 45-hour rule for your first renewal.
  • Do not assume a public adjuster CE course will count for producer CE.
  • Monitor the 2026 administrator transition from Prometric to Pearson if managing CE near July 2026.
