Annuities agents must complete eight initial hours of California-specific annuities training before earning a license, and four hours of annuity-related training within each license renewal period.

Ethics Requirements

Insurance agents selling fire and casualty insurance, as well as Life brokers, must complete four hours of ethics continuing education every two years.
