MLEP.ORG Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• How do I find out what I still need to take?
  • Login; Click on “Member portal” on the top; Look in the first grey box to see how many MLEP hours, if any, you need; the last year you took FMG and that your most recent LogSafe attendance records
• Okay, but what about the people on my crew?
  • Login; My Company; View Company Roster; Click on team member’s last name; Scroll to the bottom.
• That’s cumbersome? Can’t we get a one-page report of everyone on our crew?
  • Not yet, but the programmers are working on that added functionality.
• We aren’t Loggers – What does this site mean to us?
  • Procurement Foresters, Certified Landowners, and appropriate governmental entities will have the opportunity to build a list of your operators/supplies where their real-time training status can be checked. Here, too, we are working with the programmers to refine some reporting tools.
• It would be helpful if we had a page/report that told us….
  • Then let us know at info@mlep.org or 218-879-5633 and we’ll see if the functionality can be added.
• There used to be a link to {Insert link to obscure training resource from sometime over the past 3 decades), but now I can’t find it. Can you help?
  • Yes. We can. Especially if you know that the old link was. Email us that link and a brief description of what you are looking to find. We’ll jump into the MLEP way-back machine and find the resource for you. Assuming it is of interest to others, we’ll get it added to the “Resources” tab.
• Picking a class by a title is tough. Can’t you tell me more about what we’ll be doing?
  • Yes. Click on the title in the calendar or click on the course title or session title under “Resources” and you’ll find more about the course.
• We kind of like the online course offerings. Where are they?
  • The legacy online courses are available by mousing over “Workshops” and then selecting “Online Courses.” Yes, we’ve been promising new online content all year. No, we don’t have it built yet. Yes, we hope to get some of the new ones onto the new site – ideally in November.
• Why are you dragging your feet on posting online courses?
  • We’d like to see everyone at an in-person workshop or conference and believe this setting to be the best setting to “Set the Standard in Logging Professionalism.” And you don’t get a meal when you do an online course.
