How many continuing education hours does a Wyoming electrician need?

If you hold a Wyoming journeyman electrician license, the State Fire Marshal's page says you must obtain at least 16 hours of approved update education before renewing. At least 8 of those hours must be from a course on the National Electrical Code. Master electricians need at least 16 hours too.

How to get it done

  1. Step 1. Check your license. A journeyman license is valid for 3 years, renewing on January 1 of every 3rd year. A master electrician license is valid for 3 years too, but it renews on July 1 of every 3rd year.

  2. Step 2. Pick a course the Electrical board has cleared before you enroll. To be acceptable, all courses must have prior Electrical board approval. The Fire Marshal's CEU page links a list of Wyoming approved CEU providers and courses.

  3. Step 3. Take at least 16 hours. At least 8 of the 16 hours must be from a course that specifically covers the National Electrical Code. Take them between the date your license was issued and the date it expires.

  4. Step 4. Upload your certificates with your renewal. The renewal application takes your CEUs through its upload button, and CEUs you already submitted for this renewal period need not be uploaded again. The journeyman renewal period opens 90 days before expiration.

Before you pay

We haven’t confirmed any course price. Before you pay, check that the course has prior Electrical board approval. Ask the provider which hours specifically cover the National Electrical Code.

Questions

What if I miss the renewal window?

A journeyman gets a 45 day grace period after the expiration date, with a late fee added to the renewal fee. After the grace period, the only route is to sit the Wyoming Journeyman exam again.

How much is the renewal fee?

The journeyman renewal fee is $50.00. The master electrician renewal fee is $100.00.

Which code edition do the code hours cover?

The master renewal instructions list 16 hours, taken online or in a classroom, with 8 in 2020 or 2023 code update. A separate part of the same site lists the 2026 National Electrical Code among the codes that apply. Ask the Fire Marshal's office which edition your renewal expects.
