State Required IAR CE
Select States have implmemented a Continuing Education requirement for individuals registered as a Investment Advisor Representative in that state. IAR CE credits must be earned and reported by the end of each calendar year (your course provider will report the credits on your behalf to the state securities agencies). This is separate and distinct from other Continuing Education you complete for Insurance and Securities.
IARs need to attain 12 CE credits each year (by 12/31) to maintain their IAR registration. A “credit” is a unit that has been designated by NASAA to be at least 50 minutes of educational instruction. The 12 credits must include 6 credits of Products and Practices and 6 credits of Ethics and Professional Responsibility. Please note, the credits must be split this way. If an IAR takes 8 credits of Products and Practice and 4 credits of Ethics and Professional Responsibility, they will not satisfy that year’s requirements even though they attained 12 total credits.
