There
are a range of different methods of assessing the quality of fish
and shellfish. Common ones used by industry include the TORRY
scale and QIM (Quality
Index Method).
The Seafood
Training Academy is now able to deliver two courses, an Introductory
course and an Advanced that incorporates both of these systems.
The Introductory
course is delivered by Academy approved trainers. To become
an approved trainer you will need to attend the Advanced course
and satisfy other criteria. (See these FISHUpdate articles
for more information).
Introductory
Seafood Quality
Assessment Course
A
half day long course for general staff training. Available
as a raw schemes course for individuals handling whole fish
and part processed fish, or as a cooked schemes course for those
handling cooked seafood - chefs,
fish friers etc.
Advanced
Seafood Quality Assessment Course
A
five day long programme for managers, QA staff and future trainers.
Intermediate
courses are one day practical training programmes where we focus
on a single species to really hone those skills. Intermediate
courses are arranged upon request.
Other
flexible courses can be arranged that span the divide between
Introductory and Advanced programmes.
