Producer (Agent/Broker) Long-term Care Training

Initial training requirement: You cannot sell, solicit or negotiate long-term care insurance unless you are licensed as an accident and health or sickness insurance producer and you complete eight hours of "Arizona-approved long-term care training" (*see definition, below). ARS § 20-1691.12(A)(2). A nonresident must either complete an Arizona-approved long-term care training course or satisfy a substantially similar requirement in the licensee's home state. ARS § 20-1691.12(F).

On-going training requirement: An individual licensee must complete four hours of Arizona-approved long-term care training* after the two-year period within which the individual completed the initial long-term care training, and must complete on-going long-term care training every two years thereafter. ARS § 20-1691.12(A)(3). A nonresident must either complete Arizona-approved long-term care training or satisfy a substantially similar requirement in the licensee's home state. ARS § 20-1691.12(F).

*Arizona-approved long-term care training means an Arizona-approved insurance continuing education course containing long-term care content as determined by the continuing education administrator. By completing long-term care training, you also earn credit that you can apply toward satisfying Arizona's insurance continuing education requirement.

All insurance professionals (both residents and nonresidents) can apply for licenses, renew licenses, and update addresses and phone numbers online through the National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR), at www.nipr.com.

NIPR license and renewal applications are easy to complete, and we can usually process them faster than applications that are mailed to us. NIPR charges a small transaction fee (around $5 to $7) to process a license application and fee payment. Many people have found that overall, the added convenience plus the time and postage savings are worth paying the fee.
