Masterclasser is one of a series of professional development initiatives offered by AWEX to professional Australian woolclassers.

Masterclasser is a training opportunity for professional woolclassers that aspire to deliver high quality services. This course concentrates on developing the woolclasser’s people management skills and technical confidence. In the case of the latter this is achieved by deepening their technical understanding of wool preparation and hearing first hand the requirements and perspective of entities that rely on the woolclasser's performance (e.g. owner/contractor/warehouse/buyer/processor).
