Continuing Education and Professional Development
AGC University Event Calendar
AGC University was created by the AGC Oregon-Columbia Chapter and its professional associates with the specific purpose of providing quality, relevant courses designed to meet and exceed the commercial contractor continuing education (CCE) requirements mandated by Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB). Our courses also qualify for elective continuing education credits for those with residential contractor licenses.
Classes are taught by experienced industry professionals—frequently in partnership with commercial contractors and business practitioners that lend a pragmatic, hands-on point of view to the subject areas. Most AGC University courses are currently offered in a classroom setting to create the highest level of interaction and communication between attendees and instructors. We are working to develop on demand capabilities. Each of the classes offered at AGC University provides knowledge and training in one of the areas of competence identified as critical to the success of a commercial contractor.

- Construction Contract and Contract Law
