The following organisations and charities have been able to provide funding for people wishing to complete courses with Seafood Cornwall Training. We are sure there will be other sources of funding available and will update this page as we hear about them, it is always worth contacting your local job centre or business link office to find out if you are eligible for any other support towards the cost of training.

100% grant funding is currently available for fishermen to attend training towards the 16.5m skippers ticket, HOWEVER we cannot confirm that this funding will be available indefinatley and we are working on a month by month basis to provide these courses free of charge to eligible fishermen. Seafish hope to be able to continue to provide these grants beyond May 2010 but this is not confirmed. We will keep you posted....
