Wyoming Real Estate CE Requirements (2026): 45–53 Hours Every 3 Years
We're building a tool that tracks your CE hours and reminds you before your deadline — no more digging through board sites to check where you stand. Join the waitlist:
Requirements Overview
The Wyoming Real Estate Commission operates on a triennial CE cycle with a December 31 deadline. Salespersons and associate brokers need 45 hours: 24 mandatory hours split equally among Marketplace Issues (8), Practical Applications (8), and Contracting, Trust Accounting, and Closing (8), plus 21 elective hours. Responsible brokers require 53 hours total, as they must also complete the 8-hour Wyoming Broker Management course. If salespersons or associate brokers voluntarily take the Broker Management course, it counts as elective credit.
A grace period runs from January 1 through March 1 of the following year, during which the license becomes inactive. Failure to renew even in inactive status results in license cancellation. No CE is required for the initial license renewal (renewed December 31 in the year of issue) or for inactive license renewals, though inactive licensees must still pay the $370 renewal fee.
NAR Designation and Certification holders may request CE credit through a special form submitted to the Commission. Approved course providers automatically report completion, so licensees do not need to submit certificates manually.

Tips for Wyoming Real Estate Agents
- With 45 hours over 3 years, pace yourself at roughly 15 hours per year to avoid a last-minute scramble before the December 31 deadline.
- Each mandatory block is 8 hours — consider scheduling one per year across the 3-year cycle to spread the load evenly.
- If you hold NAR designations (CRS, ABR, etc.), submit the special form to claim CE credit — these hours can reduce your elective burden.
- The January 1 to March 1 grace period makes your license inactive, meaning you cannot practice — treat December 31 as a hard deadline.
