Background

Fishmongers and merchants are very well served by the Seafood Training Academy partnership and by Seafish with regard to information and courses. New entrant and established fishmongers alike can benefit from the array of online learning resources and qualifications available from this site, as well as the taught training courses available from sector leader - Billingsgate Seafood Training School, Seafish and other providers such as Seafood Cornwall Training.

For qualifications, fishmongers should consider the Level 3 Diploma in Fish and Shellfish to be the recognised professional qualification for master fishmongers, with the closely related level 3 certificate and level 2 certificate and diploma providing a progression from new entrant to master.

These qualifications are well supported by the various apprenticeship providers who are closely working with and recognised by Seafish.
