Oregon requires an approved continuing-education provider for licensed contractors to file a fixed $20,000 bond with the Construction Contractors Board. Ours is $200 flat, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Provider bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit fields, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Provider bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your continuing-education provider application at the Construction Contractors Board. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Oregon's Construction Contractors Board (CCB) approves the organizations that teach the continuing-education courses licensed contractors must complete. As a condition of becoming an approved provider, the CCB requires a $20,000 surety bond — a backstop that the provider runs its courses honestly and as approved.
It's a three-party arrangement: the provider (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Oregon, through the CCB (the obligee). The bond protects the Board and the contractors who take the courses against losses from the provider violating the CE-provider rules.
The bond must stay active for as long as you are an approved provider. Let it lapse and your provider approval can be suspended — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $20,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information, because this bond doesn't need it.
