For groups of 10-15 people BPEX can organise Pig Meat Awareness Seminars which provide general information about:

- the pig carcase
- a demonstration of the seam butchery method
- details on the benefits of cutting specifications
- what type of cuts are obtainable from the carcase
- how to get the best out of cooking with pork
- and if required a session on sausage making or bacon curing

These are aimed at established pig industry groups who require a greater understanding of the pig to plate process. Click here to email us if you have a group interested and wish to discuss dates and your requirements.

If you require further details on meat courses or qualifications in butchery.
The Meat Training Council have a team of Business Development Managers who can provide information on the courses or training available in your area and whether there is funding availbable.

Alternatively there is LANTRA - the Sector Skills Council for the environmental and land-based sector, representing 17 industries across the whole of the United Kingdom.

Everyone working within these industries, which are grouped into land-management and production, animal health and welfare and environmental industries, plays a hugely important role in the economy.  The sector influences the lives of everyone living in the UK today.    As a Sector Skills Council, Lantra ensures that people working in the sector have the right skills to carry out their jobs effectively, which in turn improves productivity and performance.
