AWI recommends you begin with the Fundamentals of Wool course which will give you a sound foundation in understanding the wool fibre from farm to fashion. The science and technology program will also serve to extend your knowledge with postgraduate level coursework.
On completion of the course, users will be awarded a Credly badge which we encourage to be link to digital professional portfolios.
Faciliators have extended access to the platform with teaching notes and printable resources available to support face-to-face teaching.
The Woolmark Learning Centre will continually evolve. Once registered, users will be updated when new coursework is available.
