Lumber Inspector Certification Program Offered at DSLCC
Barry Kibbey in red is the lumber inspector instructor for DSLCC.
Dabney S. Lancaster Community College is offering a Lumber Inspector Certification program this summer, with National Hardwood Lumber Association Inspector.
The first block of the 384-hour contact hybrid certificate program will be held Monday-Saturday, June 3- 14, on the DSLCC Clifton Forge campus. Class will meet from 8 am to 4 pm in Room 373, Scott Hall. Barry Kibbey is the instructor.
The second block is all online; students will only need a computer with access to the internet to complete the assignments.
The third block, available upon successful completion of the first two blocks, will be held in the NHLA headquarters in Memphis, TN.
Traditionally, the Lumber Inspector program has been offered as a 12-week course held in Memphis. This is a brand-new progressive learning model, says Reigel. DSLCC will be hosting the first block and also offering additional support for both students and the NHLA.
Students completing all three blocks will receive a certificate of completion from the NHLA. The non-credit course is being offered through DSLCC’s Workforce Solutions and Community Education.
Students may register online at www.dslcc.edu/workforce.
