A producer enrolls in a CE course taught by his immediate supervisor. How many hours of credit can he count towards the required 24 CE hours?

In the context of Colorado's Continuing Education (CE) requirements for insurance producers, when a producer enrolls in a CE course taught by their immediate supervisor, none of the hours for that course can be counted towards the required 24 hours of CE. This regulation is in place to maintain the integrity of the CE process and ensure that producers receive education from a variety of sources rather than solely relying on one individual, particularly someone in a supervisory role.

Being taught by an immediate supervisor could lead to potential biases or conflicts of interest, which is why the hours are not eligible for credit. In this case, it's essential for producers to seek out courses from different instructors or sources to fulfill their educational obligations and enhance their professional development in a more diverse learning environment.
