"A Critical Review and Evaluation of a Pilot Fishmonger Training Programme in Order to Identify Potential Modifications to Produce an Improved Training Programme for Fishmongers"^^ . "Fishmongers are highly skilled professionals working in a range of different types of businesses \r\nincluding supermarket fish counters, independent shops and mobile fish vans. Consumers expect \r\nfishmongers to have a broad range of knowledge and skills, and yet in Ireland and throughout Europe, \r\nthere is no specific training available to become a fishmonger. Opportunities for career development \r\nis limited and the lack of specific accredited training for fishmongers is damaging the sector. \r\nIn this study an evaluation of a Pilot Fishmonger Training Programme was carried out. The purpose of \r\nthis was to identify potential modifications that could feasibly be introduced to produce an improved \r\ntraining programme for fishmongers. Seven participants from the pilot programme were interviewed \r\nalong with one programme trainer and one mentor. Current fishmonger training practices in other \r\ncountries was also reviewed in the study. \r\nThe feedback from participants was largely positive with most reporting that they had enjoyed taking \r\npart in the programme, gained significant knowledge and skills, and had applied some aspects of the \r\nlearning in the workplace. While it was found that many elements of the programme worked well and \r\nshould remain unchanged, significant modifications will be required to produce an improved training \r\nprogramme for fishmongers. \r\nThe recommended modifications that could feasibly be introduced to produce an improved programme \r\ninclude changes to the programme assessment strategy with a move away from written assignments \r\nto skills demonstrations. Learners should be given more opportunities for experiential learning \r\nparticularly in the seafood quality assessment unit. Significant improvement in the content and quality \r\nof pre-course material for participants, trainers and mentors is also recommended. The application to \r\nQuality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) for programme validation should be progressed as a priority, \r\nas accreditation will add significant value to the programme and benefit to learners. The potential \r\nintroduction of blended learning to the programme was considered but the researcher concluded that \r\nit would bring limited benefits to the programme at this stage. Blended learning should not be \r\nincorporated into the fishmonger training programme until more research is carried out and there is \r\nevidence of its potential benefits to this type of programme and with this cohort of learners."^^ .
