The license term is every 2 years, based on the last day of the producer’s birth month. Producers who were born in an even-numbered year will be required to complete their CE in even-numbered years. Producers who were born in an odd-numbered year will be required to complete their CE in odd-numbered years.

No excess CE credit hours may be carried over to the next 2-year license term.

Courses cannot be repeated more than once in a 2 year license term.

Producers may complete the Oregon CE requirements through self-study. The self-study course and exam can be either paper or online.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Oregon Insurance Department requires that a student may not complete more than 8 hours of continuing education credit in one day. This means two things:

1. A course approved for greater than 8 hours will be considered to take 2 or more days of study to complete the exam. Multiple smaller courses can be completed within 1 day of study as long as they are combined 8 hours credit or less.


2. The total hours that may be completed is equal to the number of days x 8 hours.

For example: Any course that is worth 9-16 hours will take a minimum of 2 days to complete. Any course that is worth 17-24 hours will take a minimum of 3 days to complete.

Paper Study Requirements: Students should read the course material prior to taking the proctored final exam.
Online Study Requirements: Students must read the course material and answer each set of end-of-chapter quizzes with a score of at least 70 percent prior to taking a closed book non-proctored final exam.

Producers may complete their 24-hour CE requirement by taking courses approved only for the line of authority licensed for. A minimum of 3 hours must be in a course approved for ethics, and a minimum of 3 hours must be in a course approved for Oregon Insurance Law.

If the final exam is not passed on the first attempt, students have an unlimited number of retakes.

• Online: Once the exam is opened for an online course, access to the course material is restricted until the exam has been graded.
• Paper: The final exam for paper-based courses is closed book, and no outside information may be used to complete the exam.

• Online, self-study courses do not require a monitor.
• Paper-based courses and exams are required to be proctored by a state-registered proctor or a third party who is one of the following: a city, county or state public librarian; an employee of a state college or university; an employee of a private college or university other than those that are owned by or operated primarily for the insurance industry; an employee of a law office; or a currently licensed certified public accountant.

Self-Study Final Exam: 70%

WebCE provides online, printable certificates of completion in Oregon. Certificates of completion will be available to print online immediately after the final exam is passed. Producers should keep original copies of certificates for their records.

Next-Day Reporting: WebCE reports courses completions every business day to State Based Systems (SBS).

*Agents must have their CE credit hours posted prior to their expiration date and prior to applying to renew their insurance license(s). Providers have 15 days to report your CE completions, so please plan accordingly to avoid a lapse in licensure.
