Exemptions

• Producers licensed for only travel or credit
• CT Adjusters are not required to complete continuing education
• Non-resident agents are not required to complete continuing education in Connecticut. License compliance data is sent to the state of Connecticut directly, therefore, nonresidents no longer need to supply evidence of completion of continuing education in their home state.

Cape will submit your credit hours to SBS and provide a course completion certificate to each student who successfully completes a course within 15 calendar days of the completion of the course. DO NOT SEND course completion certificates to SBS, they are provided for your personal records only.
