✅ Does This Course Satisfy the State Requirement?

This course provides 4 approved hours toward the Nebraska continuing education total for your license type combination. It does not satisfy the requirement on its own, and it does not satisfy the separate minimum of 3 hours of ethics that every Nebraska licensee must complete.

Nebraska caps the requirement at 24 hours for any license type combination, so the hours from this course reduce whatever total applies to you. Long-term care producers should note that the one-time 8-hour initial training and the 4-hour ongoing training every 24 months are separate requirements.

✅ Nebraska Continuing Education Requirements

Nebraska producers renew on a two-year cycle. The Department states that twenty-four hours is the maximum number of continuing education hours required for any license type combination, and that every licensee must complete a minimum of 3 hours of ethics in order to renew. Limited lines carry smaller totals.

• Up to 24 hours of continuing education per two-year renewal period, depending on your license type combination
• A minimum of 3 hours of ethics, required of every licensee
• Long-term care producers: a one-time initial training course of no less than 8 hours
• Long-term care producers: an ongoing training course of no less than 4 hours every 24 months thereafter
• Completions are uploaded by the provider; the Department will not accept certificates submitted by licensees

Check your own license record before you buy. Your total depends on the license type combination you actually hold, and the ethics minimum applies no matter which combination that is.

How this course helps: This 4-hour course contributes 4 hours toward the Nebraska continuing education total for your license type combination, which is capped at 24 hours. It is Life & Health credit, so it does not satisfy the separate 3-hour ethics minimum, and it is not the long-term care initial or ongoing training. Those hours must be completed separately.

✅ When Do Licensees Renew?

Nebraska producer licenses run on a two-year cycle. The renewal window opens 90 days before your expiration date, but it opens only after your education requirements have been met. Because the Department makes you eligible 24 hours after your completion is uploaded, and providers are allowed up to 10 days to upload, finishing your continuing education well before the deadline is the difference between renewing comfortably and renewing in a hurry. Check your own license record for your exact expiration date.

✅ How to Renew Your Nebraska License

1. Confirm your license type and expiration date. Sign in to your Nebraska Department of Insurance record and check your license type combination, status, expiration date and the hours already on file.
2. Work out what you still owe. Your total depends on your license type combination, and every licensee needs a minimum of 3 hours of ethics.
3. Complete your remaining hours, including the ethics minimum, from courses approved in Nebraska.
4. Allow time for the upload to post. 1st Choice CE uploads your completion for you. Providers have up to 10 days, and eligibility begins 24 hours after the upload posts.
5. Renew through the Department. Once your education is on file, the renewal window opens 90 days before expiration. Complete the renewal and pay the fee shown on your renewal notice.
6. Verify the result. Save your receipt and confirm your license record shows an active status with the updated expiration date.

The Department will not accept a completion certificate sent in by a licensee. The upload has to come from the provider, which is why finishing early matters more in Nebraska than in states that let you self-report.

The Part D benefit structure and current cost-sharing phases.
