You can see the regs at boatoregon.com but here is the passage on exemptions:
Is anyone exempt from needing a boater education card?
Yes. Exemptions apply to:
Out-of-state and foreign visitors: If they will be boating in Oregon for less than 60 days or hold a boater education card from another state.
Boaters with a current Coast Guard Boat Operator License: Boaters such as guides and barge operators who hold a current Coast Guard Boat Operator License are exempt from the requirement.
Commercial Fisherman: Boaters who hold a current commercial fishing license do not have to carry a boater education card when operating recreationally but do need to carry their commercial license or documentation.
Non-certified, supervised adults: The law allows a non-certified adult to operate a power boat IF under direct supervision of an adult 16 or older who is carrying a boater education card.
New Boat Buyers: Buyers have a temporary exemption, valid for up to 60 days.
Boat Renters: Renters will be exempt, but must complete a dockside safety checklist.
