This Topic Page is about the Seafood Training Academy prospectus

Background

Seafish have developed a number of training courses for the fish and shellfish industry. Some of these courses are approved by external organisations such as CIEH. Some courses are joint awards between Seafish and other organisations such as REHIS, and some courses are just approved by Seafish as the authority on seafood.

All of these courses are recognised by the Seafood Training Academy, and all of the Seafish approved courses represent high quality, cost effective training programmes that are in demand by employers in the fish and shellfish industry.

Seafish approved courses can be taken on their own, or as part of the learning component of a larger activity such as a management or skills development programme as represented by the Level 2 and 3 fish and shellfish suite of vocational qualifications.

The Seafood Academy Prospectus outlines each of these courses and programmes.   The prospectus can be downloaded here as an interactive pdf.  A fold out printed copy can be ordered from Seafish in Grimsby
