SFI10119 is the nationally recognised Certificate I in Seafood Industry. It prepares you for work as a seafood process worker. It has been the current version on the national register since 2019, when it replaced SFI10511 and SFI10211 and SFI10111. Employers posted about 65 seafood process worker jobs in June 2026, up 5.4% on a year earlier.
The independent signals behind the Certificate I in Seafood Industry are weak right now. Employment is projected to shrink and enrolments are falling. Weigh both sides.

Neither is a job promise.
