Which licensee is required to comply with continuing education requirements in Rhode Island?

In Rhode Island, continuing education requirements are typically mandatory for certain insurance licensees to ensure they stay updated on industry practices, laws, and regulatory changes. A credit insurance representative is considered to be in a category of licensees who must fulfill these ongoing education requirements to maintain their licensure.

While non-resident producers and personal lines agents may have different continuing education stipulations or exemptions based on their residency or the nature of their licenses, the credit insurance representative specifically falls under the category that mandates compliance with these educational standards.

Temporary licensees often have a limited timeframe in which their license is active, and as a result, they usually do not have the same continuing education requirements as established licensees. Thus, the requirement for continuing education is explicitly applicable to credit insurance representatives to maintain their competency and knowledge in the field.
