How to Find Wisconsin OCI-Approved Insurance CE Providers

Wisconsin's CE system requires OCI-approved courses from OCI-approved providers. Completions are reported to OCI within one business day by providers, and a $1.00 per credit hour reporting fee is charged. The CE transcript is verifiable at oci.wi.gov. Wisconsin's no-duplicate-course rule and no-carryover policy require deliberate course planning across the 2-year renewal cycle. Here's how to find and work with OCI-approved Wisconsin CE providers efficiently.

Where to Find Approved Providers

Primary official source: oci.wi.gov → Agent Continuing Education Requirements

OCI maintains the current list of approved CE providers and approved courses. Multiple national providers and online platforms offer OCI-approved Wisconsin CE.

Key Information to Verify

OCI approval status for the specific course.

Credit type: Ethics, Life, Health, Property, Casualty, Personal Lines, Annuity, LTC, NFIP Flood, Life Settlement.

Hours. Confirm exact hours per course.

Wisconsin Medicaid content for LTC: Verify that LTC courses include the Wisconsin Medicaid-specific content (2 hours for initial; 1 hour for refresher) — not all LTC courses include this WI-specific component.

Reporting. CE providers report to OCI within 1 business day. Verify completion in OCI transcript at oci.wi.gov.

$1.00/hr fee. Confirm whether your CE provider includes the OCI reporting fee in the course price or charges it separately.

5 Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I verify my CE transcript in Wisconsin? Log into the OCI producer portal at oci.wi.gov using your license number and NIPR credentials. The CE transcript shows all completed courses reported by OCI-approved providers. If a course doesn't appear within 2 business days of completion, contact your CE provider to confirm they reported it and then contact OCI if the problem persists.
• What is the Wisconsin-specific Medicaid content requirement for LTC courses? OCI requires that LTC training courses include specific coverage of Wisconsin Medicaid (BadgerCare Plus) and LTC — 2 hours in the initial 8-hour course and 1 hour in the 4-hour refresher. When selecting an LTC CE course, confirm with the provider that the Wisconsin Medicaid-specific content is included. Generic LTC courses approved in other states may not include this WI-specific component.
• How does the no-duplicate-course rule affect CE planning? Wisconsin prohibits counting the same CE course twice within the same renewal period. Plan your CE course selection to include different courses each renewal period. Most CE providers have sufficient course catalogs that this is not a practical barrier — but if you rely on the same 1-2 courses every renewal cycle, you may need to expand your course selection.
• What if a CE provider doesn't report to OCI within 1 business day? OCI's standard is that approved providers report within 1 business day. If your course completion doesn't appear in the OCI transcript within 3-5 business days, contact your CE provider first — most reporting delays originate with providers. If the provider confirms they reported and OCI still doesn't show it, contact OCI at [email protected] or 608-266-8699.
• Can I complete Wisconsin CE through online self-paced courses? Yes — OCI approves both online self-paced and instructor-led CE courses. Many Wisconsin producers complete CE entirely online. Verify that the specific online course is OCI-approved for Wisconsin before enrolling.
