How to Find Maryland MIA-Approved Insurance CE Providers

Maryland's CE system uses Prometric as both the MIA's licensing exam vendor and CE vendor — a distinctive feature that means CE completions are tracked in the same Prometric system used for scheduling and recording licensing exams. MIA-approved CE provider lists are maintained at insurance.maryland.gov. Course completions must be reported and appear in the Prometric CE transcript before renewal can be submitted. Here's how to find and work with MIA-approved Maryland CE providers efficiently.

Where to Find Approved Providers

Primary official source: insurance.maryland.gov → Continuing Education

Prometric CE platform: Visit prometric.com or contact (800) 610-1174 to access the Prometric CE portal for Maryland. CE transcript inquiry, course searches, and renewal coordination flow through the Prometric system.

Multiple national providers and online platforms offer MIA-approved Maryland CE. Verify current Maryland MIA approval before enrolling.

5 Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I find MIA-approved Maryland CE providers? Through insurance.maryland.gov → Continuing Education section, and through the Prometric CE platform. National online providers and national CE companies offer MIA-approved Maryland courses — verify Maryland-specific approval before purchasing.
• Why does Maryland use Prometric for CE when most states use Sircon? Maryland designated Prometric as its CE vendor/platform alongside its licensing exam role. This means CE transcripts, course completions, and renewal coordination all flow through Prometric rather than Sircon. Producers renewing their Maryland license should check their Prometric CE transcript (not just Sircon) to verify CE compliance.
• Does Maryland's line-specific CE requirement significantly limit course options? It narrows the field compared to NJ and MN (where any approved course counts), but most CE providers offer courses specifically for Life, A&H, Property, and Casualty lines. The practical limitation is that a Life producer cannot pad CE hours with P&C courses to meet the requirement — all hours must be in the line(s) held.
• What if a CE provider reports completions to Sircon rather than Prometric? Providers must report to Maryland's MIA through the Prometric system, not just to Sircon generally. Verify that your specific CE provider reports to Maryland's MIA system. If there's uncertainty, contact the provider and MIA to confirm reporting procedures.
• Can I complete all 24 CE hours in one day in Maryland? Maryland has not adopted Virginia's 12-hours-per-24-hour limit or MN's 8-hours-per-day limit. Technically, Maryland doesn't appear to have an explicit daily CE hour limit — but verify current MIA regulations at insurance.maryland.gov as policies may have been updated. Complete CE well before the renewal deadline to allow for reporting and any processing time.
