North Dakota requires all providers to be registered. If you are a new provider, you will need to complete a provider application. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) State Based Systems (SBS) processes all submissions.
Continuing education (CE) courses shall promote educational activities that advance professional expertise and keep the producer abreast of the insurance industry. Approved courses shall impart substantive and procedural knowledge related to the industry and shall be designed to improve the professional skills and knowledge of participants and upgrade the standard of all licensees to better serve the public (see N.D.C.C. § 26.1-26-31.1 through 26.1-26-31.8 and N.D. Admin. Code § 45-02-04).
Course content may include but is not necessarily limited to: insurance fundamentals, policies, laws, risk management and other material. Routine meetings, luncheons, and gatherings not advertised and developed as CE events will not qualify for CE credit. Other material not acceptable for credit: pre-license training, prospecting, recruiting, sales skills and promotions, motivation, psychology, communication skills, supportive office and machine skills, personnel management. The above does not limit the Insurance Commissioner's authority to disapprove any application which fails to meet the standards for course approval.
Course format may be classroom/seminar or self-study/internet. Providers requesting approval of self-study courses must attach an outline with word count.
