00:02From the shearing shed to the exam room.
00:05Okay guys, time's up, pens down.
00:08These students in Longreach are proving they can sort wool based on qualities like fineness, strength and colour.
00:17Each piece of wool that they're picking up they need to treat as if it's a fleece and essentially class
00:22it into lines as if they were working in a shed.
00:24For more than a decade those wanting to become certified wool classes have had to study interstate.
00:31Locals have seized on the opportunity to upskill on home turf.
00:35It's been really enlightening seeing how processing works and how they price the wool.
00:42Classes play a crucial role in maintaining the quality of Australian exports and keeping wool producers profitable.
00:49The shearers won't like me saying this but the classer really is the most important person in the shed.
00:55If that's not done properly all our work has gone down the drain.
00:58With 15 graduates the course has doubled the number of qualified wool classes in Queensland.
01:03We do need a pathway for all different aspects of the industry to be sustainable.
01:10Maybe for me in the future when I get a bit tired of shearing or my body tells me I
01:13should give it away I might do a bit of classing.
01:16Keeping production moving at a good clip.
