Dual Licensees - CE Requirement
If you hold both an Oregon Residential and another Oregon license (Commercial, Electrical, Plumber), you only need to meet the CE requirements for that other license.
Please see the Oregon Rules reference that addresses these CE exemptions.
When selecting courses from open course credits, always choose the board requiring CE; "Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB) - Commercial" or "Oregon BCD Electrical Program" Board.Visit our Oregon CCB - Commercial packages page or our Oregon BCD Electrical Program page for details.
