✅ Who Should Take This Course?

• Virginia licensed resident insurance agents renewing a license with property and casualty authority
• Producers who need 3 approved hours toward the 16-hour Virginia requirement
• Agents who want current, practical workers compensation knowledge, not filler credit
• New producers building a working foundation in this coverage area
• Experienced agents refreshing before a renewal deadline
• Agency staff who support producers and want the same technical grounding

✅ Does This Course Satisfy the State Requirement?

This course provides 3 approved hours toward the 16 hours Virginia licensed resident insurance agents must complete for a single license category. It does not fulfil the entire renewal on its own, and it does not satisfy the separate ethics requirement. Agents holding multiple categories owe 24 hours with at least 8 hours in each category held.

✅ Virginia Continuing Education Requirements

Virginia agents renew on a two-year cycle. A single license category requires 16 hours per biennium; multiple categories require 24 hours with at least 8 hours in each category held. Three of the total credits must be in insurance ethics.

• 16 hours per biennium for a single license category
• 24 hours per biennium for multiple categories, with at least 8 hours in each category held
• 3 of the total credits must be in insurance ethics
• No more than 75 percent of required credits may come from courses provided by insurance companies or agencies
• Only courses approved by the Virginia Bureau of Insurance count

How this course helps: This 3-hour course provides 3 approved credit hours toward the 16 hours Virginia requires for a single license category, or toward the 24 hours required across multiple categories. It applies as property and casualty credit and does not satisfy the separate 3-hour ethics requirement.

✅ When Do Licensees Renew?

Virginia agents renew on a two-year cycle. Confirm your own biennium end date on your license record or renewal notice rather than assuming a statewide calendar deadline — your deadline depends on your individual license record.

✅ How to Renew Your License

Step 1: Confirm your license categories

This determines whether you owe 16 hours for a single category or 24 hours across multiple categories with at least 8 in each.

Step 2: Verify your biennium deadline

Check your license record or renewal notice rather than assuming a statewide date.

Step 3: Complete the required hours, including 3 ethics credits

A general course does not satisfy the ethics portion — verify the ethics credits specifically.

Step 4: Monitor the 75 percent sponsorship limit

No more than 75 percent of your required credits may come from courses provided by insurance companies or agencies.

Step 5: Allow time for provider reporting

Finish your coursework early enough for the credits to post before your deadline closes.

Step 6: Submit the renewal and verify

Complete the renewal, then confirm your active status afterward.
