Adjuster CE infoBack To Education HomeWhat’s the CE requirement for adjusters? Prior to 2003 only workers’ compensation adjusters were required to obtain CE credit. The 2003 legislative session added a statute – F.S. 626.869(4) – that now requires all adjusters (including public adjusters) to obtain 24 hours of CE credit every two years. Unlike the CE requirement for agents, there is no reduction to 20 hours for “long time” adjusters after six years of licensure. Of the 24 hours at least 12 must come from adjuster law courses, at least two of the 24 hours must come from an ethics course, and the remaining 10 hours may come from any subject approved for adjusters. The requirement for the two-hour “unauthorized entity” course does not apply to adjusters. The DFS will first require CE beginning with compliance periods that end in January of 2006. Like agents, the requirement is every two years and the excess hour carryover conditions are the same. Courses must be approved by the DFS for the adjuster license and the course advertisement would indicate such. FAIA has limited adjuster CE available. Adjusters can receive CE credit from FAIA for: • Any of FAIA's three-hour Ethics courses • The entire AAI series • And for classes we conduct at our annual Convention and Education Symposium. If your company is a member of FAIA you will receive full member discounts. If you need further information about Adjuster CE, please go to www.pcclaimpros.org/index.html. |
