The Alaska Lumber Grading training is a free one-day training, typically from 9am – 4pm. The training is appropriate for anyone who wishes to become certified to self-grade lumber for personal use or to sell in-state to end-users for residential construction. Participants must attend the training program and pass the associated exam to become certified to use or sell ALG lumber.

Certification is valid for a 5-year period, and can be renewed by re-taking the training and passing the exam.

Participants in the training will receive a copy of the Alaska Lumber Grading Training handbook which covers all the rules and information for the program.

Alaska Lumber Grading training opportunities will be provided on at least an annual basis in the following regions: Interior, Southeast, and Southcentral.
