By completing the in-person training and passing the associated exam, participants are given the proper training and certification to mill and sell lumber under the local use dimension lumber grading system. Certification is valid for five years, after which recertification is required by completing another course. As part of this course, participants will gain an understanding of basic wood science and material defects, obtain hands-on experience grading lumber, and gain the skills and certification needed to mill and sell for the construction of one- and two-family dwellings.<\/p><\/div><div>\n<a class=\"uwspbtn uwsp-btn-solid-purple\" href=\"mailto:wfc@uwsp.edu\" target=\"_blank\">Join the Course Interest List <i class=\"fa-solid fa-circle-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/a>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"hcard-mediacell\"><div class=\"hcard-images hcard-oneimg\"><div class=\"hcard-image\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/wisconsin-forestry-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/01\/WLUDLG-Edited-scaled-1.jpg)\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"hslider-buttoncontainer\"><button class=\"hsliderBack horizontal-sliderbutton\" aria-label=\"previous slide\">\u276e<\/button><div class=\"single-card-nav\"><\/div><button class=\"hsliderForward horizontal-sliderbutton\" aria-label=\"next slide\">\u276f<\/button><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"cardblock-frame blockspacetop blockspacebottom\" id=\"\" style=\"background-image:url();background-position:center center\"><div class=\"card-coloroverlay\" style=\"background-image:linear-gradient(to bottom, , )\"><div class=\"site-width\"><div style=\"text-align:\" class=\"card-intro introbg-purple card-intro-100\"><h2 class=\"h2\">2026 Courses<\/h2><div class=\"cb-intro-paragraph\">Certification courses are $30 and pre-registration is required.
