System Training Highlights Do not alter the basic training modules designed by BCTS Custom shows may be created within PowerPoint Certificates you will be issuing on behalf of BCTS are for Systems Training Before training within a Business Area, please contact the Certification Standards Officer for local document and/or system changes that may affect your presentation

38. Compliance or Practices Training Key Considerations –While BCTS can support additional regulatory or practices training, it cannot validate its effectiveness or content –The trainer cannot use the BC Timber Sales training certificate to validate this type of training –The trainer should be content knowledgeable in these types of training lest increasing amounts of misinformation be introduced to the forest sector

39. Training Documentation Training Rosters –Use the form supplied on the CD –Copies to maintain One to the Licensee/Contractor One retained by the Trainer The Trainer will issue the certificates on behalf of BCTS
