How to Streamline Insurance Continuing Education (CE) Across Your Organization: A Guide for Corporate Leaders

Supporting your team as they complete their continuing education (CE) requirements is key to a strong learning and development program. For most licensed professionals in risk management and insurance, finding time to fit CE into their busy schedules can be a challenge. However, one of the best ways to support your licensed team members is to make earning their CE as convenient and efficient as possible—and that starts with choosing the right insurance continuing education solution.

What is the Value of Insurance CE and Who is it For?

Insurance continuing education is a type of professional development that’s tailored to licensed insurance producers and adjusters. It's required for anyone who has a state-issued insurance license, as most need to renew their license every two years. This requirement ensures that licensed professionals complete approved courses and other programming to remain competent, informed, and compliant as the RMI landscape evolves.

While CE is often curated for license types like Property and Casualty and Life and Health, it also deepens licensed professionals’ understanding of risk management, regulatory changes, and more. A comprehensive CE solution should make it easy for individuals to access the right courses for their license type and complete all their CE requirements at a pace that works best for them.

What Should I Look for in a Corporate Insurance CE Solution?

When evaluating online insurance continuing education options for your licensed professionals, be sure you fully understand what you're looking for to ensure the solution you choose truly supports their growth and serves your organization. Here are some factors to consider when looking for the right CE solution for your organization: 

On-Demand Courses

On-demand CE courses provide the freedom to learn anywhere at any time, whether it’s between meetings, on their commute, or during dedicated focus time. Look for CE solutions that:

• Offer an online library of self-paced, approved courses  
• Have on-demand courses available 24/7
• Provide unlimited retakes on exams

Flexibility like this can reduce stress and reinforce knowledge retention, helping your team gain practical understanding rather than just checking off a requirement.

Live Webinars

Live webinars are a popular format for insurance continuing education that allows participants to ask questions and learn directly from experts. Since these webinars are interactive and presented in real-time, they often cover timely topics that help risk management and insurance professionals stay ahead. For organizations focused on engagement and collaboration, including live webinars in your CE offering can even foster a stronger learning culture.

Administrative Efficiency

A corporate insurance CE solution that eliminates or reduces administrative work frees organizations from time-consuming tasks like tracking usage or handling CE reporting. With simplified billing, seamless content access, and built-in state filing support, teams can focus on strategic priorities rather than paperwork. The result is a smoother user experience, more efficient compliance management, and lower overall administrative costs.

No Hidden Fees

Cost transparency is key when choosing CE for insurance licenses. Even small, unexpected costs—like per-course fees or separate state reporting charges—can add up quickly across a team. Before committing to a provider, make sure you know exactly what’s included in the price.  Transparent education solutions will list all fees upfront, with no surprise add-ons at checkout, to help you manage your budget more effectively.

Fixed Cost per Licensed Individual

Paying per course or webinar can severely limit your licensed team members’ access to the full range of CE courses, webinars, and other opportunities available to them. A more efficient model to consider is one that charges a fixed annual rate per licensed individual and gives them unlimited access to a library of courses and webinars. This flexibility empowers them to explore content that’s most relevant to their role and career goals, while learning from an array of timely and relevant information.

Backed by Experience

Most importantly, the CE solution you choose should come from a trusted name within risk management and insurance education. Your team deserves to complete their education requirements from experts who understand the complexities of insurance, compliance, and professional development.
