The Library Guide for Fish Friers

A series of Guides to getting the most out of the Seafood Training Academy. The Guides are prepared by Academy Librarians to meet the needs of particular groups

NB: As Library Guides are quick-response, semi-formal products they will occasionally contain errors which we will seek to correct. The information contained in them is for Guidance only and we cannot be held responsible for decisions made using the Guides.

Apprenticeships for Fish Friers

The Seafood Training Academy has a great deal of information for fish friers. The main topic of interest in 2015 (and also 2016) is fish and shellfish apprenticeships as they apply to fish friers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

In Scotland we have a slightly different situation and fish friers can contact onshore@seafish.co.uk or this Scottish provider.

There are two levels of apprenticeship available.

Level 2: Intermediate Apprenticeships - aimed at counter and table service, preparation and other support staff up to and including the frier.

See this leaflet. For more information please contact onshore@seafish.co.uk or approach your nearest Seafish Recognised Apprenticeship Provider.

See also this webpage with information on other occupations covered by this apprenticeship and also on some additional funding - the age related grant for England. Nb: The age related grant factsheet is updated on a regular basis - make sure you have the latest version, if in doubt ask us to update it.

Level 3: Advanced Apprenticeships - aimed at the frier, managers and owner/manager. This apprenticeship has much more about running a business, operating, monitoring and managing the frying process. See this leaflet.

For more information please contact onshore@seafish.co.uk or approach your nearest Seafish Recognised Apprenticeship Provider.
