The incredible opportunities of our Schools Team Experiences

Tourism Experiences introduce high schoolers to the incredible world of travel and tourism.

Back in 2024, ITC launched a new service for high schools – Experiences.

These Tourism Experiences offer high schools the ability to offer their year 12 and 13 students a chance to enjoy travel and tourism experiences from an industry-recognised provider. These courses invite students to study for a day per week for seven weeks during term time, where they will get hands-on training, with practical skills and knowledge, all from the tourism industry professionals at ITC.

Our fabulous ITC Schools Team.

The International Travel College is one of New Zealand’s most well-regarded providers of travel and tourism education at the tertiary level. We are committed to supporting and improving travel and tourism education across the country at all levels.

That’s why we created ITC in Schools, a pathway for high schools to offer our education resources at NCEA levels 2 and 3. This provides a fantastic option for schools to offer a more diverse education, and a way for students to learn about the exciting possibilities of a career in travel and tourism.
