Gold Coast, in conjunction with Professional Agents, Brokers, and Companies Association (FLDFS #753), is South Florida’s school of choice for Insurance Agent, Adjuster, and Customer Service Representative continuing education. At Gold Coast we strive to provide the best, most interesting, and timely courses possible. Many people wait until the last minute to complete their classes. Why put your livelihood at risk? Complete your CE requirements now! We offer both in-class and online courses.

Every individual is responsible for completing their own continuing education on time. Generally, all agents must complete 24 hours of approved continuing education by the end of their birth month, every two years. Individuals who hold a major lines license and who have been licensed in Florida for six years or more as of the first day of their compliance period, qualify for a reduction from 24 hours to 20 hours of Intermediate or Advanced level continuing education courses every two years. All Gold Coast insurance continuing education classes are intermediate.

All Adjusters in the State of Florida (Fl. Statues Sec. 626.689) are now required to complete 24 hours of continuing education courses every 2 years. The requirement includes 2 hours ethics, 10 hours law, and the remaining 12 hours optional. Insurance Adjusters must take adjuster classes, not agent classes. It is your responsibility to take classes that meet your legal requirements.

Gold Coast will do everything we can to assist you in selecting courses, but it is your responsibility to enroll in the correct subjects and hours to comply with the Florida requirements, including the new Ethics requirement. DFS rules prohibit receiving CE credit for the exact same course taken a second time within thirty-six months of the first attendance. The no repeat rule does not apply to the topic but rather the specific DFS course reference number. To check your status and verify your individual CE requirements, please check with the Florida Department of Financial Services at www.fldfs.com/Agents.

The CE laws are complex. Ignorance or disregard of the laws could result in fines and/or the loss of your license. It is YOUR responsibility to attend the correct classes for your license(s). We will do our best to assist you, but if you have lost or failed to activate company appointments, or have not completed your required classes on time, it is your responsibility. Your CE requirements may vary from others. If in doubt, contact the Florida Department of Financial Services.
