How often must each licensee furnish evidence of completed continuing education requirements?

Each licensee is required to furnish evidence of completed continuing education requirements every two years. This timeframe is designed to promote ongoing professional development and ensure that agents remain knowledgeable about current laws, regulations, and practices within the property and casualty insurance field. By requiring this evidence biennially, the regulatory body helps to maintain high standards within the industry and supports agents in staying updated with relevant changes that affect their clients and their practice.

In South Dakota, as in many other states, the two-year cycle allows licensees to engage in learning opportunities regularly, making it manageable for agents to balance their education with other professional responsibilities. Regular submissions help verify that agents are continually meeting the minimum educational requirements mandated by state regulations.
