• Bivalve Purification Management: a three day intensive course covering all of the theory of running a BVPDC. The course also includes a great deal of hands on practical activity closely examining the biology of bivalves and their impact on the purification process. Suitable for managers and Supervisors.

During this course, participants will be required to control a purification tank through its 42 hr purification, attend lectures, collect and analyse data, use monitoring equipment and demonstrate skills in running the purification process.

The management course is an opportunity to demonstrate many of the skills required to achieve the Level 3 VRQ in Bivalve Purification Operations Management. The Level 3 VRQ is a substantial qualification specifically designed for managers in the bivalve purification industry. For individuals who do not need to invest that heavily in their development, participants on the management course will receive a completion certificate from Seafish in Bivalve Purification Management.

Participants at the first Bivalve Purification Trainer Training Course in July 2008 went on to establish two new training centres in Southern England and Scotland. As part of their training, they completed a course very similar to the 3 day management described above.
