About the course
This programme is recommended for operators in either frozen fish, wet fish or shellfish operations who are involved with stock management and other aquaculture operations. Focused on upskilling operators in the handling, processing and packing in the commercial fishing industry, our three commercial fishing programmes have a heavy focus on hygiene, food safety and workplace safety requirements, with each stranded programme covering the key specialist skills required in either a fish and fish products, shellfish, wet fish, or frozen fish operation. 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 6-8 months.
