The ban on logs in CEMAC, the rise of 2nd\/3rd transformation, the Nkok SEZ, and the rise of the bioeconomy are redefining the expected skills. In this context, the <strong>FSC\/PAFC certification<\/strong>, the<strong>EUDR<\/strong> imposing geolocated traceability, and the standards <strong>OIBT \/ FAO FRA \/ COMIFAC<\/strong> make forest inventory and cubing pillars of <strong>Sustainable Forest Management.<\/strong>Mastering the sampling plan, circular plots, prospecting, marking, cubing (rates <strong>Algan\/Schaeffer<\/strong>) and statistical processing conditions technical performance, regulatory compliance, and economic value, from the stump to export.<\/p>\n<p>The UNIVGA method is 100% online, asynchronous, and designed for 5\u20138 hours\/week over 4 months. It relies on <strong>real case studies<\/strong> African sites and workshops (Gabon, Cameroon, Congo), exercises in cubing calculations, sawing plans, and modeling workshops <strong>Cadwork\/Revit<\/strong> with reminders of <strong>Eurocode 5 sizing<\/strong> to connect inventory, sorting, and structural uses. The strict alignment covers <strong>OIBT \/ FAO FRA \/ COMIFAC<\/strong>, <strong>FSC\/PEFC\/PAFC<\/strong>, and the best technical practices FCBA, CTBA, ATIBT. The knowledge acquired is immediately applicable in the forest (management and exploitation inventories, RIL\/EFIR), in the sawmill (sorting EN 1611-1, park cubing), in the workshop (joinery\/cabinetmaking\/carpentry, drying EN 14298), on MOB\/CLT sites, or in study and certification offices.<\/p>\n<p>The UNIVGA Professional Certificate aims for a <strong>concrete professional impact<\/strong> : skills enhancement towards forest engineer, site manager for exploitation, sawmill operator, wood classifier, qualified carpenter, art cabinetmaker, carpenter, wood frame installer, BIM wood designer, FSC certification manager, APV-FLEGT auditor, wood export officer, ZES workshop manager. It is valued by major operators (Rougier, Precious Woods CEB, Olam, CBG), industries in the Nkok SEZ, wood EPCs, construction wood study offices, ministries of Water and Forests, ANPN, MINFOF, as well as donors (BAD, AFD, Proparco, IFC) in CEMAC and Francophone Africa.
