The Seafood ITO has revised the qualifications listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                          March 2010

 

The next qualification review is planned to take place during 2013.

 

Reason for the revision

 

The Seafood Risk Management domain is used by both the Seafood Vessel Operations and Seafood Processing sectors.  Feedback from the advisory groups for both sectors has indicated the need to make qualification titles more sector-specific to avoid confusion between the sectors.  These qualifications have been revised in keeping with this feedback and with the potential qualification developments planned for each sector.

 

Main changes resulting from the revision

 

Titles amended to better specify qualification target audience.
