Continuing Ed

• Insurance agents and brokers can get CE credit in all states other than New York and Hawaii for insurance CE. Specific credit for adjusters may not be available in some states because of state regulations.
• Other professionals can get generic certificates of attendance.
• AFIS certification holders can get renewal credit.

(1) You must submit the signed and complete Continuing Education Request Form (Attendee Attestation Form) that will be in your Conference registration packet when you check in at Conference. Complete the information and sign the Form and return it to the IRMI Desk while you are at the Conference. If you require CE credit, you should plan to bring your license information with you to the Conference so you can complete the Form there. The information on the Form must be complete, and the Form must be signed before it is turned in.

(2) If you are subject to the agents/brokers "no partial credit rule," attend a full complement of workshops for each full day for which you desire credit.

(3) Attend each Conference workshop for which you desire credit in its entirety. Don't come in late, and don't leave early!

(4) Attach a bar code to, sign, and turn in a required attendance voucher for each workshop for which you are requesting credit. (Your personal bar code labels will be in your Conference registration packet.) Each workshop has its own voucher that is good for that workshop only and will be distributed in the workshop. It must be deposited in a box at the end of that workshop before you leave the room. Attendance vouchers turned in more than 10 minutes after the workshop has ended or turned in at the CE Desk will not count toward CE credit.

Agents and brokers are subject to a "no partial credit rule." That is, CE credit is filed for and provided on a half-day basis, and credit for attending only part of a filed course is not available. Agents and brokers must attend all workshops for each full day they desire credit and turn in all applicable attendance vouchers for those periods. 

The IRMI Emmett J Vaughan Agribusiness Conference will be filed for approval with regulatory authorities in most states other than New York and Hawaii for insurance CE credit. Specific credit for adjusters may not be available in some states because of state regulations. To find out if you can earn CE credit for your license, please see the Agents and Brokers CE Credit chart.

CE credit requirements are enforced in accordance with the rules of the governing organizations. For insurance agents and brokers, CE credit is filed on a full-day program basis; thus, each full day’s credit stands alone. Partial credit is not available for attendance of only a portion of a given filed program. It is vital that the agent sign and turn in the required attendance certification for each workshop attended. 

This Conference is for professionals with all levels of knowledge in the subject matter, and no advance preparation is required. Where the Conference is not filed and granted a specific number of credit hours by a regulatory agency, CEU Institute will furnish certificates based on your actual hours in attendance evidenced by attendance vouchers deposited in accordance with our stated procedures. (The credit per workshop varies, depending on the number of minutes actually spent in the workshop.) Please do not ask us to certify attendance in excess of that for which you have deposited attendance vouchers as required. 

(1) Attend the equivalent of at least 1 full day of workshops.

(2) You must submit the signed and completed Continuing Education Request Form (Attendee Attestation Form) that will be handed in the Conference registration packet when you check in at Conference. Indicate that you require AFIS reaccreditation, sign the form, and return it to the CE Desk while you are at the Conference. The information on the Form must be complete, and the Form must be signed before it is turned in.

(3) Attach a bar code to, sign, and turn in a required attendance voucher for each morning and afternoon for which you are requesting credit. (Your personal bar code labels will be in your Conference registration packet.) Each workshop has its own voucher that is good for that workshop only and will be distributed in the workshop. It must be deposited in a box at the end of that workshop before you leave the room. Attendance vouchers turned in more than 10 minutes after the workshop has ended or turned at the IRMI Desk will not count toward credit.

(4) Following the Conference, WebCE will be notified of your completion of the renewal requirement provided you have followed the steps above and we can verify your attendance. They will apply the renewal to your account and you will receive confirmation that your certification has been renewed. Please allow 30 days for this to be processed.

At the present time, IRMI does not assess an additional charge to process most continuing education requests. 

Upon your submission of a completed Continuing Education Request Form and appropriate attendance vouchers at the Conference, CEU Institute will issue one original certificate (to you or your resident license state, as required) per filed program in the case of agents and brokers. Due to the large number of requests for CE in connection with the Conference, it may take up to a full month for all certificates to be processed and mailed. However, we will begin to process both certificates and required rosters as quickly as possible.
