✅ Does This Course Satisfy the State Requirement?

This course provides 4 approved hours toward the 24 hours a Mississippi producer must complete when the license has been in effect 19 to 24 months, or toward the 12 hours required at 13 to 18 months. It does not satisfy the full requirement on its own, and it does not satisfy the separate 3-hour ethics requirement. You will need additional approved hours, including an approved ethics course, to complete your renewal.

Mississippi does not permit hours to carry over into the next license period, and the same course may not be repeated for credit inside one period. Track what you have already taken before enrolling.

✅ Mississippi Continuing Education Requirements

Mississippi ties the continuing education requirement to how long your license has been in effect. A producer whose license has been in effect for 19 to 24 months completes 24 hours of continuing education including three hours of ethics. A producer whose license has been in effect for 13 to 18 months completes 12 hours. Licenses expire on the last day of the licensee's birth month on a biennial basis, so your own birth month — not a statewide calendar date — sets your deadline.

• 24 hours including 3 hours of ethics for a license in effect 19 to 24 months
• 12 hours for a license in effect 13 to 18 months
• Licenses expire on the last day of your birth month, biennially
• Licenses may be renewed online beginning 90 days before the expiration date
• Hours do not carry over from one license period to the next, and the same course may not be repeated within a license period
• Only courses approved by the Mississippi Insurance Department count toward the requirement

Because the total depends on how many months your license has actually been in effect, the Mississippi Insurance Department publishes CE calculation charts for property and casualty and for life, accident and health licensees. Check your own license record and the applicable chart before assuming the 24-hour total applies to you, and contact the MID Licensing Division at licensing@mid.ms.gov or (601) 359-3582 if your months in effect are unclear.

How this course helps: This 4-hour course contributes 4 of the 24 hours a Mississippi resident producer must complete when the license has been in effect 19 to 24 months, or 4 of the 12 hours required at 13 to 18 months. It is approved in the Property & Casualty category. It carries general continuing education credit rather than ethics credit, so the separate 3-hour ethics requirement must still be met with an approved ethics course. Mississippi does not permit carryover, so plan the remaining hours inside the same license period.

✅ When Do Licensees Renew?

Mississippi producer licenses expire on the last day of the licensee's birth month on a biennial basis, and the department allows online renewal beginning 90 days before that expiration date. Continuing education must be completed during the license period, and Mississippi does not permit hours to be carried into the next period, so finishing early satisfies the current period without building a cushion for the next. Mississippi also does not allow the same course to be repeated for credit within a single license period, which matters when you are assembling hours from more than one provider.

✅ How to Renew Your License

1. Confirm your birth month and expiration date — Your license expires on the last day of your birth month on a biennial basis. Confirm the exact date on your license record before planning coursework.
2. Determine how many months your license has been in effect — This decides whether you owe 24 hours or 12. Use the Mississippi Insurance Department's CE calculation chart for your license type, or call the Licensing Division.
3. Complete the required hours, including 3 in ethics — The 24-hour requirement includes three hours of ethics. A general course does not satisfy that portion — verify the ethics credits specifically.
4. Do not repeat a course within the same license period — Mississippi will not give credit twice for the same course inside one period. Track what you have already taken before enrolling.
5. Allow provider reporting time before your deadline — Finish coursework early enough for completions to post. Do not schedule your last course for the final days of your birth month.
6. Renew online and confirm — Renewal opens 90 days before expiration. Submit the renewal, pay the fee, and afterward verify that your record shows an active status and an updated expiration date.

✅ What You Will Learn

• Read a commercial property policy correctly — who is insured, building versus business personal property, and how coverage applies at described locations
• Apply coinsurance, replacement cost versus actual cash value, and time element concepts so limits hold up at claim time
• Explain CGL coverage triggers — bodily injury, property damage, personal and advertising injury — and the occurrence versus claims-made distinction
• Identify the CGL exclusions that most often cause disputes, including contractual liability, professional exposures, and your-work and your-product concepts
• Address the hired and non-owned auto exposure created by employee driving, rentals, and third-party vehicle use
• Explain workers’ compensation fundamentals, the exclusive-remedy concept, and how a small commercial program is packaged across property, general liability, auto, and comp

✅ Course Content Overview

Hour 1: Commercial Property Insurance Essentials

• Introduce commercial property policy structure to explain who is insured, what property is covered (building vs. business personal property), and how coverage applies at described locations.
• Review causes of loss, covered perils, and common exclusions to help agents recognize the difference between broad protection and coverage gaps that can drive claim disputes.
• Explain coinsurance, valuation methods (replacement cost vs. actual cash value), and common settlement issues to support accurate limit-setting and better client expectation management.
• Introduce key property endorsements and time element concepts (business income basics and extra expense at a high level) to show how businesses manage interruption risk and loss drivers.

Hour 2: Commercial General Liability and Common Liability Exposures

• Review CGL coverage triggers and insuring agreements to clarify what “bodily injury,” “property damage,” and “personal and advertising injury” mean in real claims.
• Compare occurrence vs. claims-made concepts to explain coverage timing, retroactive dates where applicable, and why policy period details matter for liability protection.
• Discuss key exclusions and problem areas (contractual liability basics, expected/intended injury, professional exposures, and “your work/your product” concepts) to prevent overpromising coverage.
• Use scenario-based liability analysis to determine whether the CGL responds, whether defense is implicated, and when an additional insured or contractual requirement may change expectations.

Hour 3: Commercial Auto Basics and Coverage Applications

• Introduce commercial auto policy structure and covered auto concepts to clarify ownership, scheduling, symbols at a high level, and how business use differs from personal auto exposures.
• Review liability, medical-related protections at a basic level, and physical damage concepts to connect common accident scenarios to coverage responses and limits selection.
• Explain hired and non-owned auto exposures to show how employee driving, rentals, and third-party vehicle use can create liability gaps if not properly addressed.
• Use case studies to apply coverage to real-world events (delivery accidents, employee errands, jobsite incidents), reinforcing correct identification of coverage, exclusions, and documentation needs.

Hour 4: Workers’ Compensation, Risk Transfer, and Compliance Habits

• Introduce workers’ compensation fundamentals to explain the exclusive-remedy concept, benefits categories, and why this line differs from general liability in both intent and operation.
• Review statutory participation requirements for workers’ compensation including the practical impact of employers who do not carry workers’ compensation and how that affects risk conversations and coverage planning.
• Discuss coordination and packaging concepts (property + GL + auto + workers’ comp) to show how small businesses build a commercial program and how gaps occur between lines.
• Reinforce sales practices and compliance fundamentals focusing on accurate representations, suitable coverage positioning, documentation habits, and common causes of complaints in small commercial accounts.
