Georgia Master Timber Harvester Questions

Please visit our Continuing Education page for a searchable list of upcoming in-person classes, as well as information about online and other credit options.
We also periodically send e-blasts of CLE listings--if we don't have a current email for you, you won’t get them. Send current contact info to gamth@uga.edu.

No, we do not track continuing education. The provider of the course you took should be able to provide you with copies of your certificates of completion if you have misplaced yours. (If you need finding a provider's contact information, we might be able to help IF you know when you went or the name of the organization that hosted the event.)

If you have gone past your renewal, you have 6 months to make up the required continuing education hours you would have completed if sticking to the regular renewal cycle (4 hours total, 1 being Cat A) and then file a reinstatement application - refer to the reinstatement application for more information.

If you are more than 6 months past your renewal expiration, you are required to retake the Introductory Workshop- please see the MTH Enrollment page for registration information. 

**Please note: These requirements may be different for 2022 due to our transition year to the new program standards. These instructions above are valid for the 2023 renewal cycle.

Your number stays with YOU, regardless of where you work. (Please DO let us know your new contact information as soon as possible, so we can keep you up-to-date on continuing education opportunities and deadlines as your expiration date approaches. Just email changes to: gamth@uga.edu.) Each new individual needs to take the Introductory Workshop to enter into the program and get their own number.

*Including your MTH# will speed up the process.

Please check the Directory for your expiration date--you can search by your last name, company or MTH#. However, expired MTH designations will only show up when searching by MTH#. Please call the office for assistance if you have expired and you don't recall your number: 706.542.7691.

In the rush of fall and early winter it may take us up to 3 weeks to for your application to be processed. Please allow 6-8 weeks for your card (it is often much quicker than that, depending on the time of year). The Directory online is updated the minute we process your paperwork--as that is where the mills look that is what really matters.

Just fill out a card order form and send it in. It is found on the forms page.
