Direct support professional training in Wyoming is governed by the Wyoming Department of Health through its Division of Healthcare Financing, which administers the state's home and community-based services waivers under Wyoming Medicaid Rule Chapter 45. The chapter's provider requirements apply to agencies and staff delivering HCBS to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and acquired brain injury.

Section 14 sets the baseline qualifications: staff must be at least 18 years old and hold hands-on CPR and First Aid certification. Section 15 then requires pre-service training — completed before a staff member works unsupervised — across ten topics: choice, participant rights, confidentiality, dignity, abuse/neglect/exploitation including the notification-of-incident (NOI) form, emergency procedures, billing and documentation, releases, grievances, and plan-of-care objectives, plus training specific to each participant served. For in-home training (IHT) staff, Chapter 45 adds 8 hours of continuing education annually.

Medication assistance is the locked item: Wyoming's Medication Assistance Training (MAT) is Division-run — nine online modules on the state's learning management system with an 80% passing standard. Providers cannot substitute a vendor course for MAT; staff take the state's modules.

The delivery-model provision is the reason Wyoming stands out. Section 15(d) says it verbatim: "Providers may choose to develop their own training modules... or use Division modules, as long as the provider covers the key elements... with Division approval." That is an explicit rule-text invitation for provider-selected and provider-developed curricula — Wyoming does not merely tolerate outside training, its rule anticipates it, subject to Division approval of key-element coverage.

In practice, then, a Wyoming provider's compliance stack looks like this: a pre-service curriculum covering the ten §15 topics (own or vendor modules, Division-approved), participant-specific training per person served, hands-on CPR/First Aid, the state's MAT modules for anyone assisting with medications, and an 8-hour annual CE cycle for IHT staff — all documented for Division reviews.

Training and eTracking Solutions provides online DSP training built for Wyoming's requirements — courses mapped to the ten Chapter 45 §15 pre-service topics, with the key-element coverage documentation that supports a Division approval submission, automatic tracking of participant-specific training and the 8-hour annual cycle for in-home training staff, and records that stand up in Division of Healthcare Financing reviews. Because §15(d) expressly permits provider-chosen modules, Wyoming agencies can adopt TeTS as their pre-service curriculum and submit it through the Division's approval process with the crosswalk already prepared.
