✅ Who Should Take This Package?

This package is designed primarily for:

✅ Florida 2-15 Health & Life agents, including annuities and variable contracts

✅ Florida 2-18 Life and Health agents

✅ Agents who have been licensed for six years or more

✅ Agents whose DFS MyProfile account assigns CE 5-215

This package is especially useful for experienced Life, Health & Annuity agents who want broadly relevant education without adding specialized Long-Term Care Partnership training they may not currently need.

✅ Is This a Complete Florida Insurance CE Package?

For eligible Florida 2-15 and 2-18 agents who have been licensed for six years or more and whose MyProfile account shows a 20-hour requirement, this package is designed to provide the complete CE combination:

✅ 4-Hour Law & Ethics Update under CE 5-215

✅ 16 hours of approved elective continuing education

✅ 20 total Florida insurance CE hours

Florida assigns continuing education requirements individually. Before enrolling, check your DFS MyProfile CE Status page to confirm:

✅ Your license is assigned CE 5-215

✅ Your current total requirement is 20 hours

✅ You have not already completed one of the included courses within the previous two years

✅ You do not qualify for a lower CE requirement

Agents licensed for fewer than six years generally have a 24-hour requirement and should consider the Florida 24-Hour Life, Health & Annuity CE Package instead.

✅ Important License-Type Information

This package is specifically built around the CE 5-215 Law & Ethics Update.

CE 5-215 generally applies to:

✅ Florida 2-15 Health & Life agents, including annuities and variable contracts

✅ Florida 2-18 Life and Health agents

This package may not be the correct complete package for:

✅ Florida 2-14 or 2-16 Life and Annuity-only agents, who are generally assigned CE 5-214

✅ Florida 2-40 Health-only agents, who are generally assigned CE 5-240

If you hold multiple Florida insurance licenses, review your MyProfile account to determine which four-hour Law & Ethics Update has been assigned to your current compliance period.

✅ Florida CE Requirements for Agents Licensed Six Years or More

Florida insurance agents must complete a four-hour update course specific to their license during each applicable two-year compliance period.

For eligible 2-15 and 2-18 agents, that update course is generally CE 5-215.

Agents who have been licensed for six years or more generally need:

✅ 4 hours of Law & Ethics Update education under CE 5-215

✅ 16 hours of approved elective continuing education

✅ 20 total hours every two years

This package provides that exact four-hour plus 16-hour combination.

Some experienced licensees may qualify for an additional reduction based on years licensed, qualifying professional designations, or insurance-related education. Always rely on the current requirement shown in your MyProfile account.

✅ When Is Florida Insurance CE Due?

Florida insurance continuing education is generally due every two years during the licensee’s birth month.

Your exact CE compliance deadline is displayed in your Florida DFS MyProfile account. MyProfile also shows:

✅ Your required Law & Ethics Update authority

✅ Your total required CE hours

✅ Courses and credits already completed

✅ Remaining elective hours

✅ Whether reported credits have posted

Complete your courses before the deadline so there is enough time for your credits to be reported and reflected on your transcript.

✅ How to Maintain Your Florida Insurance License

Florida insurance agent licenses are generally perpetual rather than renewed through a traditional two-year license-renewal application. However, agents must complete their assigned continuing education and maintain any required appointment to remain compliant.

Step 1: Check Your DFS MyProfile Account

Review your CE Status page and confirm:

✅ Your license type

Step 4: Complete the Courses Online

Work through each course on your own schedule. You may log in and out whenever needed without losing your progress.

Step 5: Receive Your Instant Emailed Certificate
