WA Muresk - Crutching School – March 2023
Our Crutching Schools are designed for learners to provide the basic skills of crutching and correct positioning. The aim is to create a pathway to obtaining ongoing employment in crutching and/or assist with grower needs for crutching during wool harvesting.
Novice Courses are 2 day live-in, shed based, practical training taught by leading industry trainers. These courses are fully funded by Australian Wool Innovation and are offered at no cost to eligible participants.
- Over 16 years of age - if under 17 years must provide a letter of guardianship
- If still at school, must be planning to leave school in the next 2-3 months and have a contracting team or work lined up or be from a farming family that has crutching requirements
Crutching Workshops are suitable for participants ranging from wool handlers looking to learn new skills in crutching & farm workers wanting to gain experience in crutching. Whilst we can take a new entrant that has no experience, priority is given to those working in the industry who have an opportunity for work.
You will learn about a range of skills such as handling sheep for crutching, requirements specific to crutching & using equipment such as grinding combs, cutters & setting up a handpiece and correct body positioning.
Please register your interest for this course and one of our Training Coordinators will be in touch to get further information and discuss course suitability and availability.
