Western
Red Cedar Lumber Association Launches On-Line
Training Resource:
On-Line Cedar School Now Available
The Western Red Cedar Lumber Association (WRCLA)
announces the availability of its online training
resource - On-line Cedar School (www.cedar-training.org).
This new resource is tailored to provide cedar
information to interested parties for rapid and
convenient online training at a lower cost than
traditional training methods.
The WRCLA developed On-line Cedar School to
provide professionals throughout the entire supply
chain an easily accessible and consistent resource
essential to the Cedar business. The online resource
leverages the power of the Internet to engage
the learning audience and improve comprehension.
 "With increasing competitiveness throughout
our industry, it is essential we improve the
speed and ease of information to the supply chain," said
Peter Lang, general manager of the WRCLA. "We're
excited to make this convenient and consistent
resource widely available on a 24X7 basis."
The online version complements the overall Cedar School program providing seven
training modules key to the Cedar business: Forestry 101, Wood Properties, Wood Manufacturing, Products & Grading,
Cedar Marketing & Promotion, Installation
of Cedar, Finishing & Maintenance. Additionally,
a certificate will be awarded to those who complete
the online course and score 70% or greater on
a final exam. Certification is a prerequisite
for Cedar retailers to be listed in the WRCLA's
Purchasing Cedar database.
"The program was developed by industry
experts to provide an in-depth, objective understanding
of Western Red Cedar for building products sales
and marketing professionals at all levels," added
Lang. "Even seasoned professionals will
pick up new ideas and information about Western
Red Cedar."
