waller
certification testing
The Dry Stone Wall Association of Australia (DSWAA) has developed a strategy for the certification of dry stone wallers in Australia. They have endorsed the UK Certification Program as the Australian standard for wallers to achieve professional accreditation. At Kyneton Dry Stone Walling (KDSW), we only use instructors certified under this system of accreditation and also offer certification training and testing for those who wish to advance to this standard.

KDSW offers testing for individuals aspiring to Level 1 (Initial) and Level 2 (Intermediate) certification. Tests are conducted with the authority of the Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain (DSWA GB), Australia's only Master Waller. Practice walls will be available upon request the week before the test weekend. Bookings close six weeks prior to the testing weekend due to registration requirements from DSWA GB. All wallers wishing to be tested need to submit their paperwork to Jim Kilsby for compilation and submission to the UK.
