Yes, there is a such thing as a fishing school. The essential requirement is attitude. You must have the determination to do well and to work hard. No specific academic ability is required, as long as you can read and write to a basic level. 'People skills' are also very important. The schools train people for a challenging work environment where you must always be aware of the consequences of your actions. As part of the desire to establish safe work habits, random drug testings are carried out after 5-6 weeks into the course. A positive test results in dismissal. The leading fishing companies have similar policies. Females are encouraged to apply for the courses, as there is strong industry demand for female workers on board these well-appointed vessels.
