Arkansas Insurance Continuing Education (CE) Courses

Arkansas requires 24 hours of continuing education (CE) every 2 years to maintain an active insurance producer license. Of those 24 hours, 3 must specifically cover ethics and professional conduct — this is a mandatory component, not optional. All CE must be completed through a Arkansas Insurance Department-approved provider before your license renewal deadline. JustInsurance is an approved provider and offers a complete 24-hour CE package for $75, including the required ethics hours.

JustInsurance offers a complete Arkansas CE package — covering all 24 required hours including the 3-hour ethics requirement — for $75. This is a flat-fee bundle with no per-course upsells or surprise charges. Individual CE courses are also available for agents who need only specific topics to round out their renewal hours. Every purchase includes immediate online access, self-paced completion, and automatic CE credit reporting to the Arkansas Insurance Department on your behalf.

Yes. Arkansas approves online CE courses, and JustInsurance provides a full catalog of self-paced courses that meet all Arkansas Insurance Department requirements. You can study on any device, pause and resume whenever you need to, and complete your 24-hour requirement in a single sitting or spread across multiple sessions. Once you finish each course, JustInsurance reports your completion electronically to the Arkansas Insurance Department — you do not need to mail certificates or manually update your license record.

Your license lapses and you must complete delinquent CE and pay reinstatement fees before legally transacting insurance again. Specifically in Arkansas: the grace period is Governed by Rule 50; lapse begins at expiration, the late fee is Not publicly posted — contact Arkansas DOI, and reinstatement runs Not publicly posted — contact Arkansas DOI with a window of Up to 1 year under Rule 50 before retesting required. A lapsed license also interrupts your commission flow and can trigger carrier appointment reviews. JustInsurance makes it easy to finish your hours well before your deadline — the entire $75 package can be completed in a single day if needed.

If your Arkansas insurance license has lapsed, you typically have Up to 1 year under Rule 50 before retesting required to reinstate it before you must re-apply as a new licensee. Reinstatement in Arkansas runs Not publicly posted — contact Arkansas DOI, and you must complete any outstanding CE hours from the lapsed period before the Arkansas Insurance Department will process your reinstatement. The sooner you act, the simpler the process — waiting too long can mean retaking prelicensing education and the state exam from scratch. JustInsurance courses report electronically to the Arkansas Insurance Department, so once your hours are complete your reinstatement moves fast.

Carry-forward policy in Arkansas: No — CE carry-forward not permitted under Rule 50. Carry-forward rules matter if you finish your required hours early in the cycle — in some states, the extra hours apply to your next renewal period, while in others any excess is simply lost. Ethics hours often have separate, stricter carry-forward rules than general CE hours, so even if general hours roll over, you typically need a fresh ethics course each cycle. For the current official carry-forward policy, always verify with the Arkansas Insurance Department, which is the authoritative source of truth for your CE account.

Yes. Arkansas mandates that 3 of your 24 required CE hours specifically cover ethics and professional conduct. This is not optional — you must satisfy the ethics component separately from general CE hours, and the Arkansas Insurance Department tracks it independently. Failing to complete the ethics hours is treated the same as failing to complete your total CE requirement. JustInsurance's $75 CE package includes a fully approved 3-hour ethics course, so your entire renewal requirement is covered in one purchase.
