College will Offer Construction Contractors Board Test Prep This Fall
Unique class saves participants time and money through two-day program
The Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at Oregon Coast Community College will be offering Construction Contractors Board (CCB) test prep in early September at OCCC’s Newport Campus.
This class will prepare students to qualify for and successfully pass the CCB exam required for contractor certification in Oregon. The class is taught by a certified CCB education provider and fulfills the pre-exam educational requirement as stipulated by Oregon regulations. Participants will learn the material and take the test over the same two days.
Earning a CCB license is a critical step towards business ownership for many who have mastered a trade like carpentry or plumbing. Many other CCB test programs involve hours of independent study, plus time for traveling to take the test. By contrast, this program – pioneered by the Small Business Development Center Network in Oregon – allows participants to learn the material and take the test in the same two-day period.
This course was last offered at OCCC in 2023 – and 100% of participants passed the tests the first time.
The class will be offered September 5 and 6. There is no textbook to purchase. Participants are asked to bring a sack lunch each day. Find details, including times, price, and registration, here.
The Small Business Development Center at OCCC provides no-cost business advising to any business in Lincoln County, as well as to anyone even considering one day launching their own business. The SBDC routinely offers free and low-cost workshops and classes – find the complete class schedule, along with easy online registration for advising or workshops, at oregoncoast.edu/sbdc.
