ABCFP Policy Review Seminar 2011

The annual ABCFP Policy Review Seminar took place online and in-person on September 8 and 9, 2011. However, you can still purchase recordings of the seminar to watch at your leisure.

About the Policy Review Seminar
The annual ABCFP Policy Review Seminar is designed to review current legislation and policies that govern forest practices in BC, explore various forestry-related topics and the role that practicing forest professionals play.

The seminar is structured as four half-day themed modules, grouping related topics for a more integrated approach: The Professions and Professional Reliance; Forest Land Base – Supply, Allocation and Revenue; Resource Planning and Practices; and Forest Resource Initiatives and Practice Accountability. These topics include the RFT aspects of practice.

Who Should Watch These Recordings?
The two-day seminar is designed for both members and non-members wanting an overview of ABCFP legislation and bylaws, related roles of other resource professions, professional practice issues and BC's current forest legislation and policies. The seminar is an excellent resource for those preparing to write one of the registration exams (RPF or RFT). Although panel members do not teach technical subject matter or directly address the 2011 exam questions, this seminar is a good opportunity for participants to prepare for the exam or develop their professional practice. In previous years, the pass rate for exam candidates who attended the ABCFP Policy Review Seminar was higher than for those who didn't attend.
