About the course
Each programme recognises the specialist skills required for carrying out routine operations involving either seafood processing, live holding, cleaning and sanitation, or logistics in a processing operation. All four Seafood Processing level three programmes build on the safety, hygiene and quality skills of the Level 2 programme and cover a wide range of operations across the seafood processing industry. Key focus areas include hygiene, quality assurance and food safety requirements. Graduates will be capable of working under limited supervision with responsibility for their own work outcomes. Employers of learners can customise the skills and knowledge to meet their organisational needs – this is known as a Limited Credit Package (LCP) version of this programme. Covering all the fundamental skills, LCPs are great taster courses for entry level employees providing a pathway towards a full New Zealand Certificate. This programme takes 6 months.
