The Seafood Training Services Advantage
Seafood Training Services is an innovative training organisation that is constantly improving our methods of training and resources.
At STS we have developed all of our own training resources with pictures and examples that depict real life situations, this assists students with their learning during the assessment process.
In 2014 we were the first training provider to introduce intercom headsets for communication between tutors and students, this innovation increases employee understanding and allows trainees to be trained and evaluated whilst in a normal working environment. In 2015 we launched a new electronic assessment system.
This information provides a snapshot of our programmes and the benefits that training has for both learners and employers. As we are a community minded organisation, these programmes have been developed to assist and improve both the skills and employability of learners by creating sensible and practical training relevant to our industry partners.
Seafood Training Services – Our Aim

On successful completion of this programme, students will be able to use their skills and knowledge to gain employment within the seafood industry, utilise transferable skills relevant to other food processing industries or provide other employment opportunities for students already working in the seafood and related industries.
