✅ Does This Course Satisfy the State Requirement?

This course provides 4 approved credit hours toward the 24 a Colorado producer must complete biennially. It does not satisfy the full requirement on its own, and it does not satisfy the separate 3-hour ethics requirement.

If you are licensed to sell property or personal lines insurance, Colorado separately requires three hours specifically on homeowner's insurance coverage. This is a property and casualty course, but it does not satisfy that carve-out — you will need an approved homeowners course for it.

✅ Colorado Continuing Education Requirements

Every producer licensed in Colorado completes 24 credit hours of approved continuing education biennially, and at least three of those hours must be in ethics. Colorado adds a requirement most states do not: under C.R.S. § 10-2-301 and Division of Insurance Regulation 1-2-04, all producers licensed to sell property or personal lines insurance must also complete three hours of continuing education on homeowner's insurance coverage. That is a separate carve-out from the ethics hours, and a general property course does not satisfy it.

• 24 credit hours of approved courses biennially
• 3 of the 24 must be in ethics
• 3 of the 24 must be in homeowner's insurance coverage for producers licensed to sell property or personal lines
• Up to 12 carryover hours may be accumulated during the 120 days before the licensing continuation date, and applied to the next period
• Self-study courses must include an examination that is closed-book and personally monitored by a disinterested third party
• Only courses approved by the Colorado Division of Insurance count toward the requirement

Colorado measures the compliance period from your own license dates. C.R.S. § 10-2-301 requires the hours to be completed within 24 months after the date the producer's license renews, and where a producer holds more than one license, within 24 months after the renewal date of the first license. For good cause the commissioner may grant an extension of up to one additional year. Check your own license record before assuming a particular deadline applies to you.

How this course helps: This 4-hour course contributes 4 of the 24 credit hours a Colorado producer must complete biennially. It is approved in the Property & Casualty category. It does not satisfy the separate 3-hour ethics requirement, so those credits must still come from an approved ethics course. If you are licensed to sell property or personal lines insurance, remember that Colorado separately requires three hours specifically on homeowner's insurance coverage. A general property and casualty course does not satisfy that carve-out. Colorado allows at most 12 carryover hours, and only hours earned in the 120 days before your continuation date qualify, so plan the remaining hours inside this period.

✅ When Do Licensees Renew?

Colorado producer licenses run on a biennial continuing education period tied to your licensing continuation date rather than a statewide calendar deadline. The carryover rule is narrow and worth planning around: no more than 12 hours may be carried forward, and only hours earned in the 120 days before the continuation date qualify. Hours earned earlier than that window do not roll forward, so finishing very early satisfies the current period without building any cushion for the next one. Providers file attendance and completion records with the Continuing Education Administrator at least monthly, and must give you documentation of completion within seven days of finishing a course.

✅ How to Renew Your License

1. Confirm your licensing continuation date — Your 24-month compliance period runs from your own license renewal date. Look it up on your license record rather than assuming a calendar deadline.
2. Check whether the homeowner's requirement applies to you — If you are licensed to sell property or personal lines insurance, three of your 24 hours must be in homeowner's insurance coverage. Verify that specifically — it is easy to miss.
3. Complete 24 approved credit hours, including 3 in ethics — Only courses approved by the Colorado Division of Insurance count. Confirm the ethics hours separately from the general hours.
4. Arrange the monitored self-study examination — Regulation 1-2-04 requires a self-study examination to be closed-book and personally monitored by a disinterested third party. Set that up before your deadline, not after.
5. Allow provider reporting time — Sponsors file completion records at least monthly and must give you documentation within seven days. Do not leave coursework to the final days of your period.
6. Renew and verify — Submit the renewal, then check your license record afterward to confirm an active status and an updated continuation date.

✅ What You Will Learn

• Apply personal auto definitions correctly — who is insured, which vehicles are covered, and how ownership and use change the answer
• Explain liability limits, defense obligations, permissive use, and the difference between split limits and a combined single limit
• Compare uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, PIP, and Medical Payments on eligibility, coordination with health insurance, and how benefits are accessed after a crash
• Distinguish comprehensive from collision on covered causes of loss, deductible application, and the disputes each one generates
• Match endorsements — rental reimbursement, towing and labor, custom equipment — to predictable out-of-pocket losses
• Explain how a personal umbrella sits over auto and home, why underlying limits matter, and when an umbrella will not respond

✅ Course Content Overview

Hour 1: Personal Auto Policy Foundations and Liability Coverage

• Review personal auto policy structure and key definitions to clarify who is insured, what vehicles are covered, and how coverage applies based on ownership and use.
• Examine liability coverage (bodily injury/property damage) to explain limits, defense obligations, permissive use issues, and how liability exposure is measured in real claim situations.
• Discuss split limits vs. combined single limits, negligence basics, and common loss patterns to strengthen limit selection and reduce underinsurance for higher-severity claims.
• Introduce claim scenario practice to apply liability concepts to accidents involving multiple vehicles, multiple injured parties, and questions about fault allocation and coverage triggers.

Hour 2: First-Party Auto Coverages—UM/UIM, PIP/MedPay, and Physical Damage

• Review UM/UIM coverage to clarify how it responds when the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, including typical documentation and settlement considerations.
• Compare PIP and Medical Payments coverage to explain eligibility, coordination with health insurance, common misunderstandings, and how benefits may be accessed after a crash.
• Analyze comprehensive vs. collision coverage to distinguish covered causes of loss, deductible application, claim handling expectations, and common disputes (theft, hail, glass, animal impact).
• Use case studies to determine which first-party coverages apply in mixed-loss scenarios (hail + collision, theft + recovery damage, uninsured driver + injuries).

Hour 3: Endorsements, Special Exposures, and Policy Customization

• Review common endorsements (rental reimbursement, towing/labor, custom equipment, gap-style concepts where applicable) to show how policy options address predictable out-of-pocket losses.
• Discuss driver and vehicle exposures (youthful drivers, permissive use, household members, rideshare/delivery use, business use limits) to reduce misclassification and coverage surprises.
• Cover underwriting and rating considerations (MVR, garaging, mileage, credit-based factors where applicable, prior losses) to connect consumer behavior with premium outcomes.
• Practice policy customization through scenario-based recommendations that balance premium, deductibles, limits, and endorsements while maintaining suitability and clear disclosures.

Hour 4: Personal Umbrella Liability—How It Works, When It Responds, and Compliance

• Introduce umbrella policy fundamentals to explain what “excess” and “broader coverage” mean, how umbrellas typically sit over auto/home, and why underlying limits matter.
• Review umbrella triggers, required underlying limits, retention concepts, and common exclusions to clarify when an umbrella will not respond and how to prevent coverage gaps.
• Analyze high-severity liability scenarios (serious injury auto loss, multi-party accident, lawsuit defense costs, reputational/defamation-style allegations where applicable) to show where umbrella value is most visible.
• Reinforce sales practices and documentation expectations focusing on accurate representations, limit selection rationale, disclosure habits, and complaint prevention when cross-selling auto/home/umbrella coverage.
