Source read on November 12, 2026: Chapter 5: License Renewal and Continuing Education on the Wyoming Secretary of State’s rules site, effective April 5, 2023.
Cycle
Licenses expire each year at the end of October (paraphrased). “Continuing education activity must be completed during the twelve (12) months prior to the license expiration date.” Excess hours don’t carry forward (paraphrased).
What counts
“Basic CPR training is not accepted as continuing education towards license renewal.” “A minimum of fifty (50) minutes constitutes a contact hour.” An identical course counts only once every two years (paraphrased).
Required topics
None named. The official source this page quotes sets the CE hours but does not name a required topic (read November 12, 2026). Other state laws can still apply, so confirm with the board before you renew.

What this page does not do
It covers the state respiratory care license only, and only what the official page named above says. It does not list fees and does not replace the board’s own instructions. NBRC credential maintenance is separate; see the RT overview. Rules change; check the board before you renew.
