A qualification for managers/supervisors of fish and chip
businesses
• A Level 3 Improve Vocational Qualification (VRQ)
• Nationally recognised
• Can be delivered by distance learning and/or as a taught programme
• Supported by the Seafood Training Academy
What is it?
The Fish Frying VRQ is a qualification for fish and chip business
managers and supervisors that covers the key areas of frying,
food safety, health and safety, staffing, brand management and
marketing. Made up of three individual units, the qualification
can be achieved flexibly through a mix of taught courses, distance
learning etc.
What are the benefits?
The new qualification has been developed to recognise the content
of training programmes such as the NFFF’s “3-day friers” course,
or Seafish’s Fish Frying Skills distance learning programme. But,
the new qualification goes further than that as it also looks
at how you operate your business and how you would apply your
skills and understanding to managing all the elements that make
up a successful fish and chip business. The qualification provides
a framework around which to learn, and for the successful candidate,
a recognition of their expertise and skills.
Tell me more
The qualification is made up of three individual units. They are:
-
Principles
of Frying Fish and Chips – a substantial theory unit covering
the essential knowledge of how to combine potatoes, fish and
a frying medium into the nations favourite take-away;
-
Principles of Managing Fish and Chip Operations – another substantial
theory unit. This one covers the requirements of any successful
business, how raw materials, staff, brand and marketing are
managed to provide effective customer service in a competitive
commercial market;
-
Demonstrate
Skills in Frying Fish and Chips – a smaller practical skills
unit that provides you with an opportunity to demonstrate just
how good you are as a frier.
How do I register for the qualification?
We are in the process of developing the administration to support
these qualifications and when available the qualification will be
offered as part of any qualifying training programme.
In
the first instance the qualification will only be available to new
trainees, but later we will develop a suitable transition or ‘top-up’
programme for holders of older qualifications who wish to achieve
the new qualification.
