Bridge Training Program For Foresters

Collaboratively administered by The Canadian Institute of Forestry, The University of Toronto and Haliburton Forest, and funded by the Ontario Government and the Ontario Professional Foresters Association, the Bridge Training Program will improve access to competency‐based training and assessment modules for elements of the 35 demonstrable competency requirements associated with the Canadian Federation of Professional Forestry Associations’ (CFPFA) 2008 Certification Standards for the Profession of Forestry in Canada. These competency requirements apply in Ontario and all other Canadian jurisdictions in which forestry is a regulated profession, except Quebec. This program will help Internationally Trained Foresters (ITF) and domestically trained foresters from non-accredited post-secondary institutions acquire the skills they need to practice professional forestry in Canada.
