What the Wyoming data shows for Massage Therapists

Wyoming sets the entry bar for massage therapists at 1,500 training hours and a passing score on a state-approved exam. A background check is a standard part of the process. The credential is administered under Wyoming's licensing regime, which classifies the training track as "Cosmetology School".

Upfront cost is $75 on a 2-year cycle. Wyoming doesn't require continuing education for this license, so upkeep costs stay confined to the renewal fee itself.

Wyoming handles out-of-state credentials on a case-by-case basis instead of a standing reciprocity list.
