About us
Seafood Training Tasmania (STT) is a non profit organisation managed by an Industry Appointed Board that broadly represents the fishing, aquaculture, seafood processing, maritime and education sectors.
STT is a Registered Training Organisation that specialises in the delivery of short courses and traineeships to the Maritime and Seafood Industries. Short courses are those that meet a specific licencing need like Coxswain or Master V, while traineeships will cover a wide range of skills delivered and assessed over a couple of years both on and off the job.
We are based in Hobart, but we deliver training statewide covering most major ports at least once a year. Our trainers will also travel the state conducting training and assessments for our aquaculture sector on a regular basis.
Our classes tend to be small at around 12 students per class for most courses. We provide extra help to anyone who requires it, before, during and after a course. For Coxswain we offer a one stop shop with the collection of all MAST paperwork and fees together with conducting the MAST oral exams at the end of the course.
If you have any questions regarding our courses/training please feel free to give us a call.
