Wisconsin Insurance Continuing Education Requirements

Continuing Education Hours
Licensed insurance agents who are required to meet continuing education requirements must earn 24 credit hours every 2 years.

Please note that your credits must be banked by your expiration date to avoid license cancellation. It is the agent's responsibility to make sure they allow adequate time for the hours to be posted. Hondros College reports hours on a weekly basis, however we have 30 days to report hours. To look up education courses/credits, please visit www.sircon.com/wisconsin
