2026 Update

2026 California Licensing Update

  • No more required hours. Starting January 1, 2026, California removed the requirement to complete a specific number of prelicensing hours for Life & Health. That means the old “40-hour” and “52-hour” hour counts are not a state requirement anymore. 

  • The exam is the same. The California licensing exam is not changing, so the topics and state objectives still matter. 

  • Ethics is still required. You still must complete 12 hours of Ethics and California Insurance Code before the California Department of Insurance can issue your license. 

  • Need help figuring out what you need? Call or text 818-455-3879 or email support@gtaexamprep.com and we’ll tell you exactly what applies to your situation.
