Dennis Osborne, training manager for the Anglo-Scottish Seafish & Seafood Training Association, said: “This is the perfect opportunity for anyone who wishes to become a crew member aboard a commercial fishing vessel or start your own business and buy a fishing vessel, as three previous students who completed the course have done.

“This would normally cost the candidate £540, but under this scheme it is free.”

There are 10 places on the course, which starts on July 11. For more information, contact Dennis by emailing assta.amble@gmail.com or calling 01665 713823/07702 042551.
