On campus training can be completed in two ways:

Online training is available for fish harvesters who would like the flexibility and convenience of studying from any location. Community based training is offered in communities throughout Newfoundland and Labrador.

The Technical Certificate in Fish Harvesting prepares students for Transport Canada examinations and fulfills all land-based education credit requirements for Level II certification with the Professional Fish Harvesters Certification Board.
