If you obtained your occupational therapy license in the state of Wyoming, you will need to earn continuing education units at required intervals in order to maintain your license. To help, I’m going to walk you through the steps I take to maintain my own occupational therapy license (and easily earn CEUs).

Step 1: Look up your OT/OTA license.
To begin the process, I always double-check that my license is displaying correctly. You can look up your Wyoming occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant license here.
Step 2: Confirm the Wyoming OT continuing education requirements.
It’s always good to double check for any updates to your 2025 licensing cycle. (One year, I completed ALL of my state of Nebraska requirements only to find out that they were waived due to COVID. 😭)
But, to get you going here is the information I found, with links to where I found it.
Here are the basic OT/OTA CEU requirements in Wyoming:
Attestation due even years at time of license renewal, June 15th.
You are required to submit documentation of completed CEs only if selected for audit.
How many hours are required?
- OTs and OTAs need 24 education hours every two years
Requirements:
- Education should relate to topics that increase your competence as an OT professional
- Documentation proving completion of education hours is required, including a written course description for courses not directly sponsored by NBCOT, AOTA, or WYOTA
Note: New licensees who register in odd numbered years are only required to complete 12 CE hours in their first renewal period. New licensees who register in even numbered years before July 31 are not required to complete any CE in their first year!
