CES Requirements

Pearson VUE in partnership with Sircon administers all facets of the continuing education program for the Virginia Insurance Continuing Education Board effective with the 2009–2010 Biennium. Each biennium (which ends on December 31 of each even numbered year), resident and non-resident agents and consultants must be in compliance with Virginia CE regulations to maintain their license(s). Licensed Agents are required to attend at least four (4) hours of "non-company, non-agency" continuing education. All sessions offered by VLTA are "non-company, non-agency". In addition, 2 hours of law and regs credit are required each biennium, at total of 16.0 CE hours in all. You may view the current Continuing Education requirements at Pearson VUE's website.

CLE Requirements

The Virginia Supreme Court has established, by Rule of Court, a mandatory continuing legal education program in the Commonwealth of Virginia, which requires each active member of the Virginia State Bar annually to complete a minimum of twelve (12) hours of approved continuing legal education courses, of which at least two (2) hours shall be in the area of legal ethics or professionalism, unless expressly exempted from such requirement. The Virginia Supreme Court has established a Continuing Legal Education Board to administer the program and has given to it those general administrative and supervisory powers necessary to effectuate the purposes of the Rule, including the power to adopt reasonable and necessary regulations consistent with the Rule. Pursuant to this authority, these regulations have been adopted by the Continuing Legal Education Board.

Claiming CE Credits

Beginning with the 2009-2010 biennium, the Virginia Bureau of Insurance will use Pearson VUE as administrator for Continuing Education credits. Beginning in 2009, the Virginia Insurance Continuing Education Board has eliminated the need to claim your credits; however, this change does not relieve you of the responsibilities to comply with your Virginia CE requirements including payment of the $15 processing fee.

Excess CE Credits

Excess credits can be carried over into the next biennium. If you earn more than 75% of your required course credits for the current biennium from company-sponsored or agency-sponsored courses, any excess will be carried over to the next biennium.

Missing CE Credits

Pearson VUE will send a warning notice to non-compliant agents around July 1, 2010 and another notice around November 15, 2010. Pearson VUE will not send a notice once you have met all CE requirements. For notification, it is recommended that you use the Virginia Insurance for Continuing Education website to verify the information in your online transcript and to check your compliance status.

If you are missing credits related to a course you attended that was sponsored by Virginia Land Title Association, please contact us and we will investigate the discrepancy.
