Approved Training Providers are able to administer the delivery of Seafish approved training courses, assist with accessing Seafish grant funding and generally provide guidance and support on training matters.
ATPs may (or may not) be approved trainers or training centres in their own right.
Seafish approved trainers and training centres are usually approved to deliver one or more courses, but are not always able to administer funding applications.
