About the course
What can I expect out of this qualification?
The purpose of this qualification is to provide the seafood sector with people who are able to work as technical specialists, supervisors or operational managers involved in planning and managing an aquaculture, seafood processing operation on land or at sea, or harvesting or fishing activities.
This qualification is for people who are already working in the aquaculture, seafood processing or commercial fishing industries and wish to gain the skills to move to a specialist technical role.
