CE Class Providers
Below is a list of Continuing Education Class Providers who are certified with the State of California Department of Insurance to offer classes for CE credits, and provide these classes for little or no cost to the hosting organization.  These providers have graciously allowed us to list their contact information here. 

When booking a class with any of the below listed CE providers, it is the responsibility of the host association to verify with the provider that they are still authorized with the California Department of Insurance as a Continuing Education provider and that the class being offered has been cleared and authorized with the DOI.  The following link has been developed to assist insurance producers and applicants in obtaining information about education providers and courses:
