Funding to support onshore online learning
Funded training for onshore workers
As a special measure during the Covid-19 lockdown, we are subsidising the cost of online and remote training for workers in the onshore sectors of the seafood industry.
Funding will cover the full cost of the following online courses, allowing learners who pass an invigilated exam to gain a regulated qualification for free:
- Elementary food hygiene and other food safety courses.
- Elementary health and safety
Funding can also be used to subsidise the cost of our remote learning programmes. Further information on our expanding range of remotely delivered courses is available on our onshore training courses page.
Example taught courses, delivered by video conference software include:
- Introduction to HACCP in the seafood industry
- Bivalve purification operations
- Principles of food authenticity
- Management of food authenticity
- Principles of fish quality assessment
Funding to support onshore training courses is available during 2020/21 (subject to prior approval). To register for support please apply to onshore@seafish.co.uk using the expression of interest form below.
Skills Development Scotland are providing funding through the Scottish Seafood Training Network for Scottish companies. Visit the Seafood Training Academy website for more details on how to apply. NB: Although businesses outside of Scotland cannot access the funding, they can still participate in the training at full cost.
This fund is also administered by onshore@seafish.co.uk and applications are submitted using a different form, available here.
