IPEcertified

my name is Sam with Brazilian Wood depo

and I’m really excited to tell you about

this new course that I recently

published it’s called eBay certified

it’s the first and only certification

program or course about eay and

Brazilian Hardwoods I originally made

this course and I presented it to

hundreds of Architects Landscape

Architects and designers but I’ve

modified that course so that it’s really

beneficial to homeowners uh contractors

uh it’s still relevant for Architects

and designers but I really wanted to

make sure that everybody could use this

course and benefit from it so it’s

called ePay certified but at the at the

start of the course it goes over an

introduction of seven total Brazilian

hardwood species because much of the

course is relevant to all of them not

just EP after the introduction to the

species we get into decking the it

starts with a a fairly long but very

interesting story about an early

application of EP in the United States

in the Atlantic City Boardwalk um after

that I like talk about what 1×6 and 5/4

X6 decking common decking profiles it

moves into dimensional uh dimensional

Lumber like 2x4s and 4x4s after that we

spend some time on siding and TNG

cladding there are two different

products that people don’t really

understand I don’t take a whole lot of

time on the siding and TNG cladding but

it’s important and then after that we

get into optimizing the performance of

Brazilian Hardwoods it’s an extremely

important part of the course it’s

probably the meat of the course and

really anybody who who is going to be

dealing with this whether it’s again at

their house or they’re they want to

become more involved in installing it as

a contractor it’s an absolutely uh must

have knowledge after optimization we

talk a lot about weathering and

maintenance I show you what products to

use there’s a lot of multimedia

throughout the course so there’s a lot

of videos of me using these types of

products after the weathering and

maintenance we go into directly into

sustainability these Brazilian Hardwoods

are totally misunderstood as it Rel

sustainability and I’m trying to set the

record straight on that it concludes the

course concludes rather with 20

questions and a final exam form and upon

uh passing the final exam you’ll be

issued your own certificate of

completion you will be ePay certified

and you really will have more knowledge

coming out of it than you had going in

and it it can help a lot of people make

decisions um about what to use what

species to use given the conditions uh

of their project so please check out the

course go through it um I really think

it’s engaging it’s very interactive and

I think you’ll enjoy it so I can’t wait

for you to take it thanks
