• The Arizona Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions (DIFI) issues insurance licenses for four-year terms as follows:

• You must receive a score of 70% or better to pass the exam.
• You will be given the opportunity to retake the exam if a passing score is not received.

Certificates of completion are available immediately after passing your exam by logging into your account and navigating to your Course History page.

FastrackCE reports your credits the next business day except holidays to SBS (State Based Systems). The state recognizes the date you passed/completed the exam as the date of completion. It is not based upon the day we report the hours to them.

• Courses can only be repeated for continuing education credit if the completion dates are in a different license term.

In Arizona, excess continuing education (CE) credit hours cannot be carried over to the next renewal period.
