The Business of Tourism Academy
This course is a fantastic opportunity for students to understand not just the variety of roles within the global industry of airline, travel and tourism but also highlight and explain pathways into aspirational roles beyond just the entry level roles they may be aware of.
Held at our Whangarei or Auckland City Campus every Friday during terms 1, 2 & 3, the Business of Tourism Academy offers 30 credits at level 3.
During the course, students will learn about:
- Communication
- Cultural awareness
- Enterprise & marketing
- Customer service
- Leadership
- Public speaking
- Presentation skills
- Teamwork
- Diversity in the workplace
- People management
The Academy explores a range of sectors in the industry, including adventure tourism, airline and airports, accommodation, activities, attractions and many more.
The course is very hands-on with role play being a key aspect of the learning experience, alongside site visits to our industry partners so students can gain first-hand experience and knowledge of our amazing industry.
The incredible opportunities offered by our academies have truly impacted so many secondary students and we are truly excited to start welcoming new interest for 2025.
