✅ Does This Course Satisfy the State Requirement?

This course provides 3 approved credit hours toward Georgia's continuing education requirement, in the Property & Casualty category. It does not by itself satisfy the full requirement, and it does not satisfy the separate 3-hour ethics requirement. The Georgia Office of Commissioner of Insurance and Safety Fire approved it as a self-study course under Georgia course ID #75336, effective September 1, 2026, with a course renewal date of September 30, 2028.

✅ Georgia Continuing Education Requirements

Georgia runs a straightforward two-year cycle keyed to your birth month, and the hour count now depends on how long you have held the license. The Office of Commissioner of Insurance and Safety Fire requires a resident agent to complete 24 hours of continuing education in each biennial period, of which 3 hours must be in ethics. Beginning in 2026, a licensee who has held a Georgia license for 20 years or more completes 20 hours instead, still including the 3 ethics hours.

Several limited license types carry their own smaller requirements rather than the standard 24. Credit insurance only is 10 hours of self-study with no ethics requirement, and limited subagent only is 10 hours with no ethics requirement. Georgia workers compensation adjusters complete 20 hours through the Georgia State Board of Workers' Compensation, which is a separate program from producer CE.

• 24 hours per two-year cycle for most resident agents, including 3 hours of ethics
• 20 hours for licensees who have held a Georgia license for 20 years or more, still including 3 hours of ethics
• Self-study is permitted — this course is approved by the Office of Insurance and Safety Fire as a self-study course

Georgia's licensing system keeps your record for you. Your continuing education transcript, showing the requirement and everything credited toward it, is available through Sircon.com/Georgia. Check it before you renew rather than relying on your own certificates alone — the transcript is what the state reads.

How this course helps: This 3-hour course contributes 3 hours toward the 24 hours most Georgia resident agents must complete each two-year cycle — or toward the 20 hours that apply to licensees who have held a Georgia license for 20 years or more. It is approved in the Property & Casualty category, so it does not count toward the 3 required ethics hours; those must come from a course approved in the ethics category. After this course a standard licensee still needs 21 hours, including the 3 ethics hours.

✅ When Do Georgia Agents Renew?

Georgia resident agent licenses renew biennially, on or before the last day of your birth month. Your continuing education has to be complete by that date, so the deadline moves with your birthday rather than sitting on a fixed statewide date.

Because the cycle is two years long and the deadline is a single month, the most common failure is not a shortage of hours but a shortage of time: agents leave 24 hours to the last few weeks and then find the ethics course is the one they still need. Finish early and check the transcript.

If you have held your Georgia license for 20 years or more, confirm which total applies to you before you buy hours. The reduced 20-hour requirement takes effect in 2026, and it still carries the full 3-hour ethics obligation.

✅ How to Renew Your Georgia Insurance License

Step 1: Pull your CE transcript on Sircon.com/Georgia

Sign in to Georgia's licensing system and open your continuing education transcript. It shows the requirement that applies to you and every hour already credited, which tells you exactly what is left.

Step 2: Confirm which hour total applies

Most resident agents owe 24 hours. If you have held the license for 20 years or more, the 2026 change reduces that to 20 hours. Either way the 3 ethics hours are still required.

Step 3: Complete the hours, ethics included

Fill the total and the ethics category. A transcript can show enough total hours and still read short if the 3 ethics hours are missing.

Step 4: Finish before the last day of your birth month

That is the renewal deadline. Leave room for reporting and processing rather than completing a course on the final day.

Step 5: Verify the hours posted to your transcript

1st Choice CE reports approved Georgia completions for you. Confirm the credit actually appears on the Sircon transcript before you submit the renewal.

Step 6: Submit the renewal and pay the fee

Renew through the method shown on your renewal notice, update your contact and business information, and pay the fee the application shows.

Step 7: Confirm the license is active and keep your certificates

Check that the record shows an active license with a new expiration date, and keep your completion certificates on file.

✅ What You Will Learn

• Why inland marine exists as a line, and what the NAIC Nationwide Marine Definition allows to be written on it
• Exactly where a standard commercial property form stops and inland marine has to take over
• What filed versus non-filed means for form wording, rating flexibility and your duty to read the actual policy
• How contractors equipment is written — scheduled versus blanket, rented and borrowed, small tools, employee tools
• The difference between insuring the goods and insuring a carrier's legal liability, and why released value matters
• When builders risk, installation and rigger's liability each attach, and where owner and contractor policies collide
• How actual cash value, replacement cost, agreed value and stated amount change the outcome of a partial loss

✅ Course Content Overview

Hour 1 – Inland Marine Foundations and the Property Coverage Gap

The ocean marine origins of the line and why that history still explains its structure; the NAIC Nationwide Marine Definition and the classes of property it makes eligible; the gaps in standard commercial property — property in transit, property away from the described premises, mobile equipment and property in the care of others; and the floater concept, including what filed versus non-filed business means in practice.

Hour 2 – Major Commercial Inland Marine Coverage Forms

Contractors equipment coverage, including scheduled versus blanket approaches, rented and borrowed equipment, small tools sublimits and the employee tools exposure contractors assume is covered and is not; transit and motor truck cargo, including a shipper's interest against a carrier's legal liability and released value limitations; bailee and processing risks; and builders risk, installation and rigger's liability, including insurable interest and the coordination problems between owner and contractor policies.

Hour 3 – Valuation, Specialty Exposures and Placement Practice

Actual cash value, replacement cost, agreed value and stated amount, and how the absence of coinsurance on many inland marine forms changes a partial loss; scheduled against blanket limits and the consequences of underscheduling; specialty exposures including fine arts, museum and collection risks, electronic data processing equipment, signs and exhibition property; and placement and disclosure practice, including when a risk belongs in the surplus lines market.
