Fish and shellfish employees can now net new skills

The first dedicated training qualification for fish and shellfish processing to be launched for more than 20 years is now available to employers.

The Proficiency in Fish and Shellfish Industry Skills qualification has been developed by Improve, the UK-based food and drink skills council, and can now be accessed through the National Skills Academy for Food and Drink’s training provider network.

Improve has worked with industry authority Seafish, the Seafood Training Academy, leading employers and other trade representatives to develop the new Level 2 Improve Proficiency Qualification (IPQ), which is aimed at employees working in fish and shellfish processing and the related supply chain.

It will offer a mix of occupational skills and knowledge units covering everything from the competencies to perform effectively in processing, the science and technology of processing, and different preparation methods, through to storage, presentation and sales.
