CRV AB Training Schools

CRV offers AB Training Schools throughout New Zealand. Our trainers are experienced in all aspects of AB and provide training for both the DIY client as well as anyone who may be interested in joining our team of professional AB technicians.

Courses we offer:

  • AB Refresher Training (1 or 2 days): For those wishing to update their DIY skills.
  • AB DIY Training (1 week): For those wishing to learn to inseminate their own herd.
  • AB Technician Training (2 weeks): For those interested in becoming a commercial AB Technician.

The AB technician training course consists of two five-day blocks of training (not necessarily concurrent). Trainees must achieve a pass rate in week one of training (high placement and accuracy) to continue through to the second week. Only those who have passed both weeks of training will be considered employment as a CRV AB Technician.
