The Kentucky Master Logger (KML) Designation Card is valid for a three-year period from the date of issue. It is the responsibility of the master logger to ensure that they have achieved the required number of continuing education (CE) credits and renew their card before it expires. The expiration date is listed on your KML card below the designation number.

To verify the number of continuing education credits you have, do following:

Go to the Find a Master Logger Page of this web site and search for your own name. The number of hours you currently have will be displayed in the CE Credits column.
Check the mailing label on the Logjam Newsletter that you receive. Your current number of CE credits and expiration date will be printed on the mailing label above your name.
