Bail Bondsman Continuing Education (CE) Requirements

Licensed bail bondsmen in South Carolina are required to complete continuing education (CE) each year in order to maintain their license.

Continuing education applies only to individuals who are already licensed as bail bondsmen. CE is not a substitute for pre-licensing education and does not qualify an individual to become licensed.

Continuing education is intended to:

• Support compliance with state renewal requirements

• Keep licensed bondsmen current on applicable laws and procedures

South Carolina Bail Agents Academy offers online, self-paced continuing education courses designed for licensed bail bondsmen.

Important notes:

• CE requirements apply only after licensure

• CE completion does not grant, reinstate, or guarantee a license

• Licensing and renewal decisions are made by the State of South Carolina
