About this Event
Delivered by CATG, this visual strength grading of softwood training and assessment is organised by Woodknowledge Wales.
Ideally, delegates should have undergone training or work experience where they have experience of handling and identifying timber and are familiar with grading timber.
Architects, structural engineers and others involved in the design process are welcome to attend the first day of the course free-of-charge, dependent on spaces being available.
On completion assessment at the end of the course delegate will be able to visually grade softwood to BS 4978. This includes identifying species, taking moisture readings, determining knot plots, sizes and types, grade the timber successfully, and complete the additional requirements for storage and record keeping.
Food and accommodation is not provided, although tea and coffee making facilities are available on site.
