Every resident licensee must complete a minimum _____ course?

• A. 3 hour ethics
• B. 1 hour ethics
• C. 2 hour ethics
• D. 4 hour ethics

Answer: (A)

Continuing education for North Carolina health insurance producers includes a required ethics component. The rules specify a minimum of three hours of ethics coursework to be completed within each license renewal period. That’s why three hours is the best answer—it's the official minimum that meets the ethics CE requirement. One or two hours don’t meet the mandate, and four hours isn’t the stated minimum. Make sure the course is approved by the North Carolina Department of Insurance and completed before renewal, since lacking the required ethics CE can prevent renewal until it’s satisfied.
