What Is Insurance Continuing Education?
Insurance continuing education helps licensed professionals stay updated on industry laws, product knowledge, and ethical standards. It is required by the state as part of maintaining your active insurance license. Completing CE regularly ensures that you are knowledgeable about current regulations and best practices in your line of authority.
Who Needs to Complete CE in Wyoming?
All resident insurance producers and adjusters licensed in Wyoming must complete CE as a condition of renewing their license. This includes licensees in lines such as life, health, property, casualty, and personal lines. Non-resident licensees are generally exempt if they meet CE requirements in their home state.
Wyoming Insurance CE Requirements Overview
Wyoming producers must complete 24 total hours of CE every 2-year license term. This includes:
- 3 hours of ethics training (required)
- The remaining 21 hours can be completed in elective topics approved for your license line
You may complete all 24 hours via online or self-study courses approved by the Wyoming Department of Insurance. NobleCE offers a 24-hour bundle that satisfies all CE requirements in one convenient package.
Special Requirements for Certain Licensees
There are additional training mandates for producers who sell certain specialized products:
- Annuity Training: A one-time 4-hour course is required before selling annuity products in Wyoming. This course must be completed through a state-approved provider like NobleCE.
- Long-Term Care (LTC): Before selling long-term care insurance, producers must complete an initial 8-hour LTC training course, followed by a 4-hour refresher every 2 years.
- Flood Insurance (NFIP): If you sell flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program, FEMA requires a 3-hour flood training course, although Wyoming does not separately mandate this for CE purposes.
When Is the CE Deadline in Wyoming?
CE must be completed every two years by the last day of the licensee's birth month, based on the year of original licensing. For example, if you were born in July and originally licensed in an odd year, your CE deadline is July 31 of every odd-numbered year.
There is no grace period. All CE must be completed and reported before the expiration date to avoid penalties or lapse.

What Happens If You Miss the CE Deadline?
If you do not complete your CE on time, your license will be inactivated, and you may be required to pay a late renewal fee. You cannot legally conduct insurance business while your license is inactive. To reinstate, you must complete all outstanding CE and submit a renewal application through NIPR along with any applicable penalties.
CE Exemptions and Extensions
Licensees who have been continuously licensed since July 1, 1990, without a lapse, may qualify for a CE exemption. Individuals with extenuating circumstances may also request an extension from the Wyoming Department of Insurance, though such requests must be submitted in writing before the CE deadline.
