The Billingsgate Seafood Training School is located on the first floor of the Billingsgate Fish Market, which is the UK's largest inland fish market. The school has been established as a charitable company with the aim of promoting the awareness of fish in young people and to increase the knowledge of those people already working in the industry, in areas such as retail and catering. All commercial activities undertaken by the school will fund courses for school children free of charge.
By establishing the School at Billingsgate, anyone attending a course is able to visit the market in order to gain the broadest possible knowledge available on all the different types of fish and fish products now on offer. The market has been at the forefront of the fish industry for several centuries and the development of this unique facility will allow it to maintain its position.
