| Primarily working in sawmills, log scalers use industry tools and calculations to determine the net volume of harvested logs. Students will learn species identification, proper techniques for calculating log volumes, and rules/calculations applied to determine types of defects. When combined, these three highly skilled techniques determine net volume. Prior timber industry experience is not required; however, a working knowledge of basic math and fractions application is required. This online, self-study course will prepare students to take the Idaho Log Scalers License Exam, which is administered by the Idaho Board of Scaling Practices. Log Scalers are required by Idaho State law to be licensed.
