All around the world as certification increases the demand for qualified auditors increases. Getting the credentials to be an auditor is no mean task but the rewards of regular employment and travel are creating excellent opportunities for many people.

With so many certification schemes and increasing aquaculture quantities the prospects are good. Many schemes run training either for new auditors or refresher courses for returning auditors.
One such opportunity is currently being offered by The Global Aquaculture Alliance with their Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) Auditor Training Course in Adelaide, Australia, from June 1 to 7, 2014. This course is for new auditor candidates, returning auditors requiring refresher training, producers, government officials and other industry observers.

The course will cover the BAP seafood processing plant standards, finfish and crustacean farm standards (including land-based ponds and fresh/brackish water cage culture), salmon and marine-cage farm standards, mussel farm standards, shrimp hatchery standards and feed mill standards. Candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible as participants are admitted on a space-available basis.
