The ban on raw logs in CEMAC, the rise of 2nd\/3rd transformation, and the <strong>Nkok SEZ<\/strong> and the expansion of certifications <strong>FSC\/PAFC<\/strong> redefine the expected skills in Forestry Operations &amp; Wood Logistics. With the EUDR 2023\/1115 and the FLEGT VPAs, geolocated traceability and operational safety become crucial. The<strong>directional felling<\/strong> and the <strong>site safety<\/strong> are the key actions that determine material quality, productivity, and sustainability of supplies for the industrialization of okoum\u00e9, sapelli, sipo, padouk, iroko, weng\u00e9, moabi, azob\u00e9, doussi\u00e9, and the rise of the bioeconomy.<\/p>\n<p>The UNIVGA method offers 100% online, asynchronous learning (5\u20138 hours\/week), structured around real case studies in Central Africa (RIL\/EFIR felling, log yards, CEMAC ports), exercises in volume calculations and sawing plans, and an introduction to modeling <strong>Cadwork\/Revit<\/strong> and sizing <strong>Eurocode 5.<\/strong> to contextualize the industrial downstream. The pedagogical engineering is strictly aligned with the standards <strong>ILO\/FAO\/GWO Forestry<\/strong> for safety and ergonomics, and incorporates best practices. <strong>FSC, PEFC, OIBT, FCBA, CTBA, ATIBT<\/strong>The content is actionable right from the field (directional felling, limbing, bucking, skidding, first aid), in sawmills (grading, quality), in workshops (carpentry, cabinetmaking, framing), on wood construction sites (MOB, CLT), and in design offices (procedures, compliance, traceability).<\/p>\n<p>This Professional Certificate develops directly applicable skills to progress towards responsibilities as a<strong>forestry engineer<\/strong>site manager for exploitation, sawmill operator, wood grader, qualified carpenter, artistic cabinetmaker, framer, wood frame installer, BIM wood designer, certification manager <strong>FSC<\/strong>, auditor <strong>APV-FLEGT<\/strong>wood export officer or ZES workshop manager. Recognized by forestry and industrial operators (Rougier, Precious Woods CEB, Olam, CBG), the companies in the <strong>ZES Nkok<\/strong>, the wood EPCs and design offices, as well as the Ministries of Water and Forests, <strong>ANPN<\/strong>, <strong>MINFOF<\/strong> and the donors (BAD, AFD, Proparco, IFC), the UNIVGA Professional Certificate enhances immediate employability in the CEMAC region and French-speaking Africa, meeting the requirements for sustainability, safety, and performance in wood value chains.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Train in directional felling techniques, site safety, and ergonomics with an ILO \/ FAO \/ GWO Forestry framework.
