Onshore Training News In Brief - April 2020
Bivalve Purification courses go online
The Southern Shellfish Training Centre had four Bivalve Purification Operations courses in the pipeline for March and April 2020 and managed to deliver two of them before social distancing became the norm. But they are determined to carry on with their training services in the form of a remote learning pilot taking place later in April. As part of the pilot the two trainers (Martin and Andy) will deliver the bivalve course over two sessions via Zoom later in April.
Following the success of this pilot they will offer additional bivalve courses to businesses and individuals. Find out more on bivalve purification training
Seafish expands role of online testing
We have been working closely with the Royal Environmental Health Institute of Scotland to make invigilated exams available online for all of our regulated awards. These exams are an essential part of our plans to offer many of our knowledge courses via remotely delivered taught courses.
Most of our tests are not visible to the public, but those that are can all be found on the Seafood Academy site. Click here to access the testing portal. If you would like to have a go at a short demonstration test then try this link for multiple choice exam and this for an extended answer test.
Remote training, what is available?
If the Bivalve purification remote training course is a success then this will open the gates to more types of training courses being delivered in this way by Seafish approved trainers. These courses can include various food hygiene, HACCP and health & safety courses, and perhaps some courses we don’t yet deliver.
If you have a need for a remote training course then please tell us about it by emailing onshore@seafish.co.uk If we can deliver it for you then we will.
