Before You Buy

The Oregon Business & Law exam is separate from the NASCLA Commercial Builder examination. Most new CCB applicants must complete 16 hours of training through a CCB-approved provider before taking the Oregon exam. Applicants who have passed the NASCLA Accredited Commercial exam are exempt from that training but still must pass the Oregon exam. This book does not replace any required training or establish exam eligibility.

Using Your Book on Exam Day

Do not bring loose papers, and do not write, highlight or add notes during the exam. Review the current PSI candidate bulletin for identification, reference inspection and testing policies.

Licensing Requirements

The Oregon CCB generally requires a Responsible Managing Individual who meets the applicable pre-license training or exemption pathway and passes the Oregon exam. The business must also obtain the appropriate endorsement, meet registration requirements, provide the required surety bond and liability insurance, and submit a complete CCB application. Workers’ compensation coverage may be required depending on the business.
