✅ Who Should Take This Course?

This course is best for Oregon plumbing licensees who need 4 Code Change hours toward renewal, especially Journeyman Plumbers who must complete a specific mix of code-related, code-change, and Oregon rule and law credits during each three-year renewal cycle. Oregon BCD says Journeyman Plumbers need 24 total hours made up of 16 hours of code related, 4 hours of code change, and 4 hours of Oregon rule and law.

If you already have your code-related hours or are building your renewal package piece by piece, this course is a simple way to complete the CC portion of your Oregon plumbing CE.

✅ Oregon Plumbing License Renewal Requirements

Oregon BCD says continuing education is required to renew most plumbing licenses, and the exact mix of hours depends on your license type. For Journeyman Plumbers, the state currently requires 24 hours every three years, including 4 hours of code change, 4 hours of Oregon rule and law, and 16 hours of code related. Oregon also notes that continuing education can be taken at any time during the three-year license cycle.

This course provides the 4-hour CC portion of that requirement. If your license type requires the full 24-hour package, you may also need separate Oregon Rule and Law and Code-Related courses before renewing.

✅ When Do Oregon Plumbing Licenses Have to Renew?

Oregon’s license directory says Journeyman Plumber licenses renew every three years on April 1. Oregon BCD also says renewal notices are mailed about 45 days before expiration, and division-issued licenses are eligible for online renewal within 45 days of the expiration date.

The easiest approach is to complete your CE before your renewal window opens so your credits are already on file when it is time to renew.
