2025 British Wool Shearing Courses go LIVE in February
British Wool will publish its list of shearing courses for the 2025 season on the 3rd of February. Our experienced team of instructors will be running more than 100 courses between April and August this year, offering tuition in machine and blade shearing, and wool handling.
British Wool shearing courses are designed to develop good technique and shearing practice from the outset. Courses cover key topics relating to shearing such as Health and Safety, the Shearing Environment, Equipment, Shearing Technique, and Care for your wool.
Courses generally last two days, are held on farm and have a high instructor to student ratio to ensure that you get the best advice. Content is tailored by ability; Beginners can learn the basic technique and work towards a Blue Seal, Intermediate courses will help you improve your technique to either Bronze of Silver Seal standard, and Advanced courses will help those who already have some experience to refine their technique and support the skills required for competitive shearing at the highest level.
British Wool courses are recognised worldwide and our higher level qualifications are accredited by Highfield Training which helps facilitate your shearing career by being recognised internationally as a professional qualification.
