Prelicensing
The Department does not endorse any providers for prelicensing education and lists them for informational purposes only, indicating no mandatory requirement. One commercial source describes prelicensing as required; confirm the current position with the Department.
Continuing education
24 CLASSROOM hours of continuing education within each two-year licensing period, of which at least 3 must relate to ethical requirements, under W.S. 26-9-231. NFIP course credits count toward the 24-hour requirement, and licensees may use independent self-study courses to meet the requirements. Nonresident license holders follow their home state's requirements.

The Study Guide
Written for Wyoming, not for everyone.
Every rule explained in ordinary English before the terminology arrives. If two things are easy to confuse, we tell them apart in a sentence. No insurance background assumed.
You get two PDFs: a study guide that teaches the material, and a practice exam whose answer key explains why each answer is right. Printable flashcards, a master sheet of every number worth memorizing, and a four-week study plan are included.
Twisting versus churning. Twisting involves lying to move a customer, usually to a different company. Churning happens inside the same company and is about generating commission. If the question mentions misrepresentation, it is twisting. If it mentions the same insurer, it is churning.
