Wyoming EMS recertification uses a fully category-based system. Every Wyoming EMS provider must complete CE hours distributed across five required categories: Airway Management, Pediatrics, Trauma, Medical, and Elective. The hour minimums per category scale with certification level. Wyoming providers track their hours through OWLS (the Wyoming Department of Health’s online licensure system), and 10% of providers are audited each cycle.
Wyoming EMS Hour Totals by Certification Level
Wyoming CE Category Distribution by Level
Every Wyoming EMS provider must distribute their CE hours across five required categories. The minimum hours per category increase with certification level.
OWLS Tracking Requirement
Wyoming uses the OWLS (Online Wyoming Licensure System) for EMS CE tracking. As you complete CE courses, log each one in OWLS with the certificate details and category designation. Tracking your hours is your responsibility, and accurate documentation is essential.
Keep your CE Solutions certificates as backup documentation. The Wyoming Department of Health randomly audits 10% of EMS providers each cycle, so being able to produce certificates is important.
10% Audit Rate
The Wyoming Department of Health randomly audits 10% of EMS providers during each recertification cycle. If selected, you’ll need to produce documentation for all CE hours claimed in OWLS. Save your CE Solutions certificates and any other CE documentation in a single place for easy retrieval if you’re audited.

NREMT and Wyoming Recertification
Wyoming does not require NREMT certification for state license renewal. You can recertify in Wyoming using state CE requirements alone.
If you choose to maintain NREMT certification, you will follow the NREMT recertification requirements separately. NREMT operates on its own cycle and uses the National Continued Competency Program (NCCP) structure. For complete details on NREMT recertification by level, visit the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians website.
Maintaining NREMT alongside your Wyoming cert offers portability if you ever work in another state.
