Tyneside's fish industries' training school at North Shields has gained further national recognition for its pioneering training scheme in filleting.
The course, aimed at developing traditional skills in fish preparation for young people who will be employed in shops and restaurants, has secured accreditation from the Open College Network, one of the country's largest awarding bodies.
The training school was launched as a national centre of excellence in sea food preparation earlier this year and is backed by the Tyne and Wear Learning & Skills Council, Newcastle and North Tyneside Colleges, as well as North Tyneside Council and the Sea Fish Industry Authority.
Alan Schiller, training school manager, said: 'The North Shields Fish Filleting Training School is the first of its kind anywhere in the country. And we aim to be a world leader."
