The Tennessee Master Logger Course (TML) includes five days of training, 8 hours per day. Loggers receive a Master Logger certificate, card, cap, manual and other materials during the class and upon graduation. Loggers voluntarily attend, and  a list of graduates is kept for referrals to landowners and industry.

The Tennessee Master Logger is sponsored by the Tennessee Forestry Association, University of Tennessee Extension Service, Tennessee Division of Forestry and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. The program has received high praise from members of the Tennessee General Assembly and has been recognized by the Forest Resource Association, Inc. as one of the top three logger training programs nationwide. In Tennessee, the Tennessee Conservation League awarded the Tennessee Master Logger committee the Forest Conservationist of the Year Award for achievement in training timber harvesters in the need for conserving our natural resources and managing  our forests in a sustainable manner.

There has been 1,950 loggers trained in Tennessee as of 2006.
