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.
The training and test 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.
