Seafood Processing Programmes

What we offer

WDSFS offers several NZ certificate programmes that lead NZ qualifications and certificates in seafood processing.
We aim to provide valuable training and career pathways for the NZ seafood industry and shore-based seafood processors.

Level 2 seafood training is our qualification for the Fishing Cadet Programme and we aim to offer this partly online for people currently employed in the industry in 2025.

Level 3 and level 4 seafood can be fully completed online if you are currently employed and provide a pathway to becoming a key staff member in a seafood processing operation.
Level 3 and Level 4 are also transferable to a shore base operation.
