Canadian Mill Services Association (CMSA) is pleased to announce the launch of the first nationally accessible On-Line Grading Course for Dimension Lumber. For the safety of our students we have moved from In-person Classes to an On-Line version. This course is not just for the training of Lumber Graders but also to give all those who work in the Forest Industry a working knowledge of the language of Lumber Grading. Supervisors, Sales Personnel, Administrative Staff, Lumber Graders in training, all your employees will all benefit from this training. In addition to learning about Wood Structure, you will learn about the main Canadian Commercial Softwood Species, the Lumber Grades most commonly quoted, and most importantly, how to grade a piece of lumber. Comprised of 5 Modules (9 sub-modules) plus a Theory and Practical Exams, the items taught include Light Framing, Joists & Planks, Studs, Finger joined Studs and MSR lumber.
