Wool Harvesting Online Training

With approx. 26 million sheep in New Zealand, it’s fair to say that, per capita, our shearers and wool handlers can stand proud as among the best in the world.

We’d like to share our industry expertise and talent with our Australian counterparts. WOMOlife wool industry training has created a series of professionally shot online training videos, with techniques and skills demonstrated by some of our record holder and world champion shearers and wool handlers.

Our online training

Following industry best practice and respectful of animal welfare, our online videos will introduce you to learning in the shed, helping you build the skills you need for the wool harvesting industry.

Videos are available in a range of topics, as a full course or as a bite-sized course, and cover everything from penning, crutching, shearing, wool handling and pressing. You’ll learn a lot about technique, best practice and working well on a stand, or as part of a team on the wool floor.

Each video is short, easy to follow, and relevant to industry right across the globe. They are suitable for anyone already working in a wool shed, or applying for their first job.
