Prerequisite Training & Testing
Contractors getting their CCB license for the first time are required to complete 16 hours of training on law and business practices, and pass a state test.
The person that takes the training and passes the test is the Responsible Managing Individual (RMI) for the license. The RMI must be an owner or employee of the business and exercise management or supervisory authority over the construction activities of the business. Oregon law requires a license must always have a RMI.
For individuals that completed the training on or after October 1, 2006, the training and testing is valid for 24 months from the date the training was completed. Training and testing that is past the 24 months from the date of the completed training will not be considered for the purposes of fulfilling the requirements set forth in OAR 701.122.
Contractors whose CCB license has lapsed for more than 24 months must complete the training and pass the test.

Requirements for Contractors with a Residential Endorsement
The 2007 Oregon Legislature passed HB 2654 which established a mandate that the Construction Contractors Board (CCB) develop a continuing education system for Construction contractors. This mandate is now part of the Oregon Revised Statutes. (ORS 701.126)
The CCB has and continues to request input from contractors, contractor associations and other stakeholders.
The agency anticipates that this mandate will become effective sometime between July 1, 2010 and 2014.
Additional information will be available soon.
Requirements for Contractors with a Commercial Endorsement
