Welcome to Southern Pine eClassroom

Each Southern Forest Products Association course is divided up into "units." Within each unit are several mini "lessons." Participants are to log in, choose a unit to complete, read through each lesson, and then test their knowledge at the end (10 multiple choice questions). Each unit takes approximately 1 hour to complete. Upon completion of a unit, participants will earn 1 hour of continuing education credit, and will be able to print out a certificate of completion.
