NIC’s Coastal Log Scaling Program Begins in February
The Truck Loggers Association has generously donated six $1,000 bursaries to Coastal Log Scaling certificate students at North Island College this year.
The full-time, 13-week program begins February 24 at NIC’s Campbell River campus. It is designed for students looking for an in-demand forestry career. Graduates are prepared to write the Ministry of Forests theoretical and practical Coastal Log Scaling exam, required to work as a licensed log scaler.
The program emphasizes practical skills. Students spend the majority of their time on dry-land log sorts, learning the steps required in weight scaling, how to grade logs and identify log species commonly found in coastal log sorts, and more. Class lectures, directed home study, and field work are also required.For more information please contact www.nic.bc.ca/trades or Wendy Samaroden, Training Officer with NIC's Continuing Education, at 250-923-9728.
