Why Study in Tasmania?
We do things a little differently down south…
Tasmania is modern, vibrant, welcoming, and home to the largest aquaculture industry in Australia.
Our small state is surrounded by some of the cleanest waters in the world, giving us our well-deserved reputation for quality and excellence in seafood, shellfish, maritime and Antarctic research, and tourism.
Our unique relationship with such a large number of world-renowned seafood and maritime businesses has led to Seafood and Maritime Training becoming the industry preferred training provider, offering a service and breadth of experience that is unparalleled throughout Australia.
We pride ourselves on offering our students exceptional assistance throughout the course of their training and are the only provider to offer a one-stop-shop service, supporting our students from their first enquiry until they receive their license. It’s just the way we do things down here!
Travelling to Tasmania takes only 50 minutes by plane from Melbourne and 1.5 hours from Sydney. There are 4 airline carriers flying to Tasmania with more than 10 flights each day, and accommodation and transport costs are usually lower than those in other major Australian cities.
So why not give yourself industry advantage? All you have to do is think a little differently!
Seafood Training Tasmania has done an outstanding job over many years in training our young, and not so young, seafarers to be accomplished seamen and women to work in our wild catch fisheries and aquaculture industry. The training they have received has been second to none and has established them on a career in the seafood industry. STT and their dedicated staff and trainers have been very adaptive in tailoring courses to suit the needs of the Tasmanian industry and the conditions encountered around the state.

I've worked for Huon for 10 years and in those 10 years I've done training at Seafood Training Tasmania. A few courses include Coxswains, Elements of Shipboard Safety, First Aid, MED3 and Master 5 to name a few. I found the training really professional and helpful to build my career at Huon Agriculture.
