IWSc: Wood Technology Society courses - specific subject modules

The Wood Technology Society has recognised that individuals may wish to gain information about a specific aspect of timber and has accordingly produced a series of 11 educational workbooks which can be studied as stand alone subjects.

For candidates who successfully complete one of these specific subject modules, the Society will issue a certificate naming the individual and the subject studied. This is especially relevant as evidence of CPD material having been studied by those working in the timber and allied industries or for other professionals working in the construction industry.
