Courses: Iowa LTC Certification

Iowa Long-Term Care Certification Catalog

Training Requirements

Initial Certification Requirement:

Initial 8-hour NAIC long term care training course that has been approved as CE.

Resident Producers:
Iowa requires resident producers to take an Iowa specific 8-hour NAIC long term care course which has been approved as CE.
Non-Resident Producers:
Iowa has adopted training reciprocity for non-resident producers only. This means that non-resident producers may take an Iowa 8-hour NAIC long term care course OR they may take an 8-hour NAIC long term care course from another state.
Refresher Certification Training:
Iowa requires a 4-hour NAIC LTC training CE course every 36 month CE term thereafter.

What do the Version A and Version B mean?

LTC renewal training must be completed every 2 years. Most states will not allow the same CE course to be repeated during a single compliance period or the subsequent compliance period. In an effort to ensure you can always earn CE for our programs, we provide two versions of the 4 hour that you can alternate between. To avoid any limitations in your resident license state, we strongly advise that you alternate between versions in order to ensure you can earn CE credit towards your license renewal. Please refer to your continuing education transcript to see which course you have taken within your current compliance period. If you are still unsure about which course to take, check your history under "My Courses" or contact us and our friendly staff will help guide you on what to select.

If you have never taken a course with us before or if your last course was completed in the classroom, choose Version A.
