Welcome to Building Learning. This website is designed for timber workers and sales staff who wish to improve their background knowledge in wood technology, quality control and other timber-related topics.

You are welcome to peruse the learning materials and view the video clips which are embedded in some of the lesson pages. You will also find the video clips on the Building Learning YouTube channel.

Courses

We offer a range of on-line courses suitable for personnel who handle, process or sell timber products – including production workers, wood machinists, sawyers, frame and truss makers, orderpersons, supervisors, sales staff and management.

If you’re looking for a bespoke training program designed specifically for your own employees, we can develop a customised course tailored to your precise needs.
