| Flood | All Arizona-licensed resident insurance producers who sell federal flood insurance policies are required to complete a one-time 3-hour requirement on flood insurance. |
| Long Term Care |
Initial training requirement: An individual licensee cannot sell, solicit or negotiate long-term care insurance unless the individual is licensed as an accident and health or sickness insurance producer and the individual completes eight hours of Arizona-approved long-term care training. ARS § 20-1691.12(A)(2) A nonresident must either complete an Arizona-approved long-term care training course or satisfy a substantially similar requirement in the licensee's home state. ARS § 20-1691.12(F) |
A non-resident licenseholder is not required to complete Arizona insurance continuing education.
Arizona law provides that a non-resident licensed in good standing in the home state is not required to complete Arizona-approved continuing education courses to be eligible to renew the Arizona insurance license if the home state has a continuing education requirement for its resident insurance producers (and all states do), and if the home state recognizes insurance continuing education credits earned in Arizona by Arizona residents (and all states do). ARS § 20–2902(H) through (I). SEE ALSO LONG-TERM CARE TRAINING AND FLOOD INSURANCE TRAINING. Notwithstanding the absence of an insurance continuing education requirement, you are responsible for remaining abreast of, and complying with, applicable U.S. and Arizona laws, rules and regulations.
