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 Delaware, excess continuing education (CE) credit hours can be carried over to the next renewal period, up to a maximum of 5 hours. However, ethics, annuity, or LTC courses are only carried over as general credit.
