New feedback reveals what our students really think about ITC!

Our ITC students seem to be pretty happy. See some of their reviews below!

At ITC, we’re constantly thinking about ways we can offer a better education and a better service for our students.

We’re staffed entirely by a team of people passionate about travel and tourism, with more than 250 years of combined experience in the industry! We have a dedicated Employment Consultant who works with students to help them find and gain roles during and after study, and we’re always looking for ways to improve the everyday experiences of our students.

So, does all that effort pay off? We asked our students, and here’s some of the comments we received in our most recent feedback…

ITC congratulates the Travel Agents Association of NZ (TAANZ) winners!

Congratulations to the 2024 TAANZ winners, and to the industry as a whole for its comeback!

One of the many reasons the International Travel College (ITC) is so good at providing qualifications and certifications to students across Aotearoa is thanks to our industry connections and involvement.

In other words, we don’t just teach travel and tourism – we live it.

That’s why we’re so excited to congratulate the recent winners of the Travel Agents Association of New Zealand (TAANZ) winners!

School ball season is over – now what?

Ball season is finished – so now what?

The school ball is one of the highlights of the year for some students, but for others, it’s the only thing really keeping them at school.

As much as we will always encourage students to complete their studies, we also know that if high school is just not for you, and if you already know you won’t be turning up for the rest of the year, then it might be time to look at other options.

ITC goes behind the scenes at the new Disney housing complex!

Flamingo Crossings Village comes complete with pools, basketball courts, and so much more.

One of the many exciting possibilities for ITC graduates is heading overseas on an International Exchange Program. Of course, the Disney Exchange Program is one of the most popular!

This program is only available to preferred providers like ITC, so many of our students are driven enough to get positions in this world-famous tourism attraction.

One important aspect of heading to Disney to live and work is the actual housing complex our graduates stay in. And lucky for us, we’ve got someone behind the scenes who has recently been part of planning a new housing complex, and who has had the chance to check it out in person!

Catching up with Shaz: An inspiring update with an ITC grad!

Shaz in their happy place – snowy Canada!

We often (ok, endlessly!) talk about how amazing it is to work in the travel and tourism industry. We write blogs and social media posts about all the places you can go and all the people you can meet when you study with ITC before heading out into the world.

And every now and then, we catch up with a past student who is living that unbelievable lifestyle.

Today, that’s Shaz Beardsmore, a graduate that we last caught up with seven years ago as they were doing the Disney Cultural Exchange Program and making big plans for the future.

“There’s just so much to explore, it’s hard to know where my travel list ends!” they said.

So when we recently heard from Shaz, we knew we had to share their updated travels and adventures!

These roles can get you out exploring far-flung destinations, meeting new people, and enjoying spectacular views along the way everywhere you go. But whether you’re already studying travel and tourism, or working in an entirely different job, it can be hard to know how to make the leap to the cruise industry – or even if you want to.

Now, ITC can answer both questions with our all-new online certification: Cruise Online. This is one of four new online short courses, alongside Cabin Crew, Ground Crew, and Tour Guiding.
