Don't see an answer below for your question? Shoot us an email at gamth@uga.edu or give us a call at 706.542.7691

  • How do I renew?

    Complete at least 4 hours of approved continuing education (1 being Cat A) every year and send in your renewal application or proceed through the Renewal Portal BEFORE your expiration date -- see our Continuing Education page for details. (The Renewal Application comes with a sheet of instructions)

  • How do I find CLE opportunities?

    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. PLAN AHEAD! Numerous CLE opportunities are listed throughout the year. Do not let the year pass you by and wonder why you cannot find any classes. NOTE: Free on-demand webinars are not guaranteed but periodically posted on the Forestry Webinar site to provide back-up opportunities for convenience. 

     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.

  • Can you tell me what continuing education I've taken?

    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.)

  • My MTH designation expired. How do I get back in?

    If you have gone past your renewal, you must 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 - or proceed through the Renewal Portal BEFORE APRIL 30TH - refer to the reinstatement application for more information

     

     

    If you exceed the grace period of April 30th, you are required to retake the Introductory Workshop- please see the MTH Enrollment page for registration information. 

  • Do I reapply for a new MTH number if I change jobs? Can I give my MTH number to my son or employee?

    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.

  • How do I send in address or contact info changes?

    Email changes to: gamth@uga.edu
    *Including your MTH# will speed up the process.

  • How do I know when my designation will expire? What if I don't know my MTH#?

    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.

  • I sent in my renewal/reinstatement but I'm not current on the website yet. When can I expect my card?

    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.

    MTH cards are only issued upon completion of the intro workshop. Replacement cards can be ordered if a renewing MTH participant desires.

  • How do I get a new card?

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