Timber Cruising Certification Committee

Our Mission…

Is to ensure that Certified Timber Cruisers are suitably equipped to provide the best estimate of volume, quality, species composition and value of the timber resource.

The Timber Cruising Certification Board…

The Timber Cruising Certification Committee (TCCC) is responsible for the professional certification of Timber Cruisers practicing in BC. Professional timber cruisers are certified under the Applied Science Technologists & Technicians Act and Regulations, a provincial statute administered by the Applied Science Technologists & Technicians of BC (ASTTBC).

The levels of certification are ACCREDITED TIMBER CRUISER (ATC) and ACCREDITED TIMBER EVALUATOR (ATE). These designations are federal marks registered by ASTTBC; they can only be used by cruisers registered by TCCC.

Credentials You Can Rely On…

When you select an ATC or ATE member, you access…

Consistency and quality
Efficiency through experience
Verifiable qualifications
Ethical accountability
Protection of the public interest

Look for the sign of a Certified Timber Cruiser, the Cruiser’s Stamp. Only Certified Timber Cruisers offer accountability and professionalism that you can rely on.
