✅ Does This Course Satisfy the State Requirement?

This course provides 4 approved hours toward the 24 credit hours a Connecticut resident producer must complete in each two-year licence period. It does not satisfy the requirement on its own, and it is general credit – it does not count toward the 3 hours of Laws, Regulations and Ethics (LRE) that Connecticut also requires.

Connecticut places no cap on self-study or online hours, so all 4 hours count in full. After this course you will need the balance of your 24 hours, including the 3-hour Laws, Regulations and Ethics (LRE) requirement, from separately approved courses.

✅ Connecticut Continuing Education Requirements

Connecticut requires 24 hours of approved continuing education in each two-year licence period, and 3 of those 24 must be in Laws, Regulations and Ethics – the category Connecticut abbreviates as LRE. The LRE hours sit inside the 24 rather than on top of them. A producer may generally take courses in any line of authority, although the Department recommends taking them in the lines you actually write.

• 24 credit hours of approved continuing education in each two-year period
• 3 of the 24 must be Laws, Regulations and Ethics (LRE) credit
• Licences renew by the last day of your birth month, every two years
• No cap on self-study or online hours – all 24 may be completed online
• Up to 24 hours may be carried forward into the next period; surplus LRE credit carries as general credit
• The same course cannot be repeated for credit inside one renewal period

Connecticut also carries three separate product-training gates that sit outside the general 24. Selling Partnership long-term care products requires the one-time Long-Term Care Partnership training. Selling annuities requires a state-approved 4-hour annuity suitability course. And as of 15 April 2026 newly licensed Property & Casualty and Personal Lines producers must complete a one-time 3-hour NFIP flood course. Nonresident producers, adjusters, and licensees holding only credit, travel accident or surety bail bond authority are exempt from the 24-hour requirement.

How this course helps: This 4-hour course contributes 4 of the 24 credit hours required in each two-year licence period. It is general credit, so it does not count toward the 3-hour Laws, Regulations and Ethics (LRE) requirement. The balance of your 24 hours must be completed separately.

✅ When Do Licensees Renew?

Connecticut producer licences renew every two years, by the last day of your birth month. The cycle is tied to your birthday rather than to a fixed statewide date, so two producers in the same agency can have different deadlines. Confirm your own date on your licence record rather than assuming, and remember that continuing education has to be complete and reported before you renew – being CE-compliant and paying the renewal fee are two separate steps.

✅ How to Renew Your Connecticut License

1. Confirm your renewal date and the lines of authority on your licence. Your date is the last day of your birth month, every second year.
2. Work out what you still owe: 24 hours in total, of which 3 must be Laws, Regulations and Ethics.
3. Check whether any product-training gate applies to you – annuity suitability, Long-Term Care Partnership, or the one-time NFIP flood course required of newly licensed Property & Casualty and Personal Lines producers since 15 April 2026.
4. Complete your hours from courses individually approved in Connecticut. Approval in another state does not carry over.
5. Allow reporting time before your deadline. 1st Choice CE reports your completion to the Department; do not leave it to the final days.
6. Check your transcript and confirm the LRE hours posted in the LRE category rather than as general credit.
7. Renew your licence and confirm it shows active with an updated expiration date.

Carryover is generous in Connecticut by comparison with most states – up to 24 hours move forward into the next period – but surplus LRE credit carries as general credit only, so it will not pre-satisfy the next period's 3-hour LRE requirement. A course cannot be repeated for credit inside the same renewal period.

✅ What You Will Learn

• Apply the personal auto policy definitions that decide who and what is covered
• Explain split and combined single liability limits and the insurer's defense obligation
• Handle permissive use, resident relatives and household driver questions correctly
• Compare uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage and explain why it matters
• Distinguish comprehensive from collision and set client expectations on each
• Show a client what a personal umbrella actually sits above and where it will not respond

✅ Course Content Overview

Hour 1 – Personal Auto Policy Foundations and Liability Coverage

Personal auto policy structure and the key definitions — covered auto, insured, family member and newly acquired vehicle — that decide who and what is protected. Covers liability coverage and its exclusions, the difference between split limits and a combined single limit, and claim scenario practice that shows how the definitions control the outcome.

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

Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, including stacking, rejection requirements and how limits interact with the at-fault driver's policy. Covers personal injury protection and medical payments coverage, the difference between comprehensive and collision, and case studies applying all of it to real loss situations.

Hour 3 – Endorsements, Special Exposures and Policy Customization

The endorsements agents use most, and the driver and vehicle exposures that require them — youthful and excluded drivers, business use, trailers, motorcycles, classic and custom vehicles. Covers underwriting and rating considerations, and how to customize a policy so it matches the household as it actually is rather than as it was written.

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

Umbrella policy fundamentals and what an umbrella is and is not. Covers the triggers, required underlying limits, self-insured retention concepts and the common exclusions; the high-severity liability scenarios that make an umbrella essential; and the sales practices and documentation expectations that apply when an umbrella is offered or declined.
