Join OETC
There are three steps to join OETC.
1Fill out OETC’s membership application.
Fill out both the application and the authorized purchaser form (to enable purchasing via the web store) and send to OETC by email or fax (503.625.0504).
2Receive your membership information.
OETC will send you three things: Membership number, authorized purchaser login, and an invoice for the membership fee (based on student enrollment). The authorized purchaser can add additional logins to your staff as needed. Once you’ve paid your membership fee, you can begin shopping online, taking advantage of our RFPs, and saving time and money.
3Start Saving.
You can view all of OETC’s RFPs on our website and download the materials for your reference. Additionally, you can view products and pricing on our webs store, and pay for products with a purchase order number or credit card. No need to fax or email us anything!
