You must apply to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) for accreditation or re-accreditation of an initial and/or refresher course in Lead: Renovation, Repair and Painting. Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 333-070-0125 through 333-070-0160 establishes this requirement for training program accreditation as well as the following:

• minimum personnel requirements
• minimum curriculum requirements 
• re-accreditation; suspending, revoking, or denying accreditation; civil penalities
• accreditiation fees 

Read the requirements for accredited training providers in the Oregon Administrative Rules.

NOTE: If you are looking for an accredited training course for RRP or for abatement and inspection, please see the list of lead training courses.

Some Requirements for Training Providers:

• Requirements for RRP Accredited Training Providers are outlined in the RRP Accreditation Instructions.
• If a training program modifies its original accreditation application or changes any information, it shall notify OHA in writing within 30 days of modification.
• Training managers must submit a Pre-Training Notification Form to OHA at least seven business days prior to the start date of an RRP course. For more information on training notifications, see the OHA Pre and Post-Training Notification Instructions.
• Training providers must complete and submit the Post-Training Notification Form and Student Roster within 10 business days of a training. The training program must also submit a student fee of $17 per student that successfully completes the training course.
• A training program seeking re-accreditation must submit an application to OHA no later than 60 days before its accreditation expires.
• Follow record keeping requirements as outlined in OAR 333-070-0150.

Verification Cards

Verification cards for training providers accredited to teach in Oregon are available by calling OHA at 971-673-0440 or e-mailing the Lead Program at lead.program@state.or.us.

Verification cards can be used for five years from the date given to a student. It is extremely important that the expiration date be punched on the cards before being given to the student. Using a regular hole punch, punch out the number corresponding to the month the card was given to the student, and then punch out the number corresponding to the year, five years after the card was given to the student. (For example, if the card was given to the student in May of 2009, then you would punch out the number 5 in the month row, and the number 14 in the year row).
