✅ Who Should Take This Course?

This course is ideal for Oregon plumbing licensees who need 16 Code-Related hours toward renewal. It is especially useful for plumbers who want broad code-focused training on materials, fixtures, drainage, venting, potable water systems, stormwater, inspections, and current Oregon plumbing updates. The Oregon BCD plumbing CE page confirms that continuing education requirements vary by license type and that code change credits are also required as part of the full renewal requirement.

✅ Oregon Plumbing License Renewal Requirements

Oregon BCD says continuing education is required to renew most plumbing licenses, and licensees need the correct mix of credit types to renew. The agency’s CE page specifically notes that Journeyman Plumber (JP) licensees need 4 hours of code change, 4 hours of Oregon Rule and Law, and 16 hours of code related, for a total of 24 hours. Oregon also states that you have not met the renewal requirements if you do not have the correct amount of code change credits.

This course is the 16-hour CR portion of that requirement. It is best paired with the required Oregon code change and Oregon Rule and Law hours if your license type requires the full 24-hour renewal package.

✅ When Do Oregon Plumbing Licenses Have to Renew?

Oregon BCD states that continuing education can be taken at any time during the three-year license cycle. The state’s current CE page specifically notes that Journeyman Plumber licenses expire on April 1, 2026, and the Oregon license directory says journeyman plumber licenses renew every three years on April 1. Oregon BCD also says all division-issued licenses are eligible for online renewal within 45 days of the expiration date, and renewal notices are mailed about 45 days before expiration.

✅ How to Renew Your Oregon Plumbing License

✅ Step 1: Check your license record and confirm exactly how many CR, CC, and ORL hours you need. Oregon BCD tells licensees to check their credits before renewing.

✅ Step 2: Complete your required continuing education with approved providers and approved courses. Oregon says only approved courses and providers can be applied to your license.

✅ Step 3: Finish your online course and download your instant certificate for your records. Credits for this course are reported to Oregon BCD within 24 hours.

✅ Step 4: Renew your license online. Oregon BCD says division-issued licenses can be renewed online within 45 days of the expiration date, and your CE must already be registered in the system before you renew.

✅ Step 5: Do not let the license lapse. Oregon BCD says that if you do not renew by the expiration date, your license moves into expired-renewable status and you are not eligible to work under that license until all renewal requirements are met. If the license is expired for more than one year, the license holder will need to retest.
