- Participation or attendance at an instructional program presented, recognized, or under the auspices of any permanently organized institution, agency, association or completion and certification by an approved national home study organization; or

(C) Viewing of films, videos, or slides
- Attendance at meetings of the Advisory Council for Electrologists and Permanent Color Technicians and Tattoo Artists may be credited for a maximum of three hours per meeting, totaling no more than six hours per three year period.
Continuing education requirements apply whether the applicant renewing a license is living or working within Oregon or outside of the state, so long as Oregon licensure is maintained. Hours of continuing education, in excess of the requirement for renewal every three years, will not be carried forward.
Continuing education is required for renewal, every three years, even if the license has been inactive or suspended during that period. Licensees failing to obtain 20 clock hours of continuing education every three years must reapply and qualify according to the requirements of OAR 331-515-0030 and successfully pass a written and practical examination.
Licensees must attest, or declare, they have met continuing education requirements upon license renewal and are subject to periodic audits as specified in OAR 331-530-0020. Records of attendance must be maintained by licensees for two years following the three-year continuing education cycle and renewal of the electrologist license.
