How to Request State Insurance CE Credit
ALERT: In order to receive state insurance CE credit, a student must be enrolled in the course/program prior to June 15, 2020 and must successfully complete the course/program by December 31, 2020.

Requests for state insurance CE credit must be made at the time you enroll in a course. Upon enrollment you will be prompted to provide your national producer number (NPN) and state insurance license number. Within 10 days of your successful completion of the course, the College will report the applicable state insurance CE credit on your behalf with the state(s) you have selected provided you have furnished accurate information including any required affidavits and you have complied with both the College's and your state's rules, requirements and procedures.

It is your responsibility to understand and comply with your state insurance department's rules, requirements and procedures including, but not limited to, proctor and affidavit requirements. The College will not be held responsible for a department's denial of CE credit or the College's inability to report the CE credit because of your non-compliance with the agency's and/or the College's rules, requirements and procedures.

Proctor and Affidavit Requirements
The College has suspended the policy that final examinations for professional designations be proctored by a third party testing center. Final examinations, which can be accessed through your Student Learning Portal, may be taken anytime, anywhere.

ALERT: In order to receive state insurance CE credit, a student must be enrolled in the course/program prior to June 15, 2020 and must successfully complete the course/program by December 31, 2020.

However, if you enrolled in the course/program prior to June 15, 2020 and are seeking State Insurance CE, it is recommended that students use a Prometric or ISO Quality Testing center. These Testing centers satisfy most states' definition of a disinterested third party proctor*. If you choose not to take your examination at a testing facility, you must arrange for your own disinterested third party to serve as your proctor or monitor.

Please see below for exceptions:

  • Arkansas - A state-specific affidavit must be submitted. Prometric testing facilities are NOT approved for AR state insurance CE. ISO Quality Testing centers ARE approved.
  • New York - YOU MUST TEST AT A TESTING CENTER** and a state-specific affidavit must be submitted.

Arkansas and New York residents: Send the signed affidavit form to ce.compliance@cffp.edu within a week of passing the final exam. CE credit cannot be reported to these states until signed affidavits are received.

*A monitor or proctor is a disinterested third party (DTP) who serves witness that you have satisfied the requirements of your course and testing procedures in an ethical manner. The proctor must be someone with whom the examinee has no business or family relationship. Business relationship is further defined as working within the same company regardless of physical location, title, or position.
