Our Courses Are Filling Up (But it’s not too late to join!)
The Level 3 Whangarei class excited to get started at ITC!
The year is off to a busy and exciting start for everyone at ITC – but if it’s not off to a great start for you, it’s not too late to join us!
We have already filled our classes for the February Level 3 Certificate in Tourism and Travel at both Whangarei and Auckland campuses. However, we still have limited spots left for our Aviation Certificate at our Botany Campus – and it’s first-come first-served if you’d like to join in!
The good news is that we are seeing the huge demand for our courses, so we’ve added two new intakes! You can now sign up for our Tourism and Travel Level 3 course for the Auckland City campus with a March start date, or the Tourism and Travel Level 3 course for the Whangarei campus with a July intake.
So even if you’ve started the year at high school but are dreading spending 2026 studying in a place you don’t feel like is for you, we’re offering a different study option – and one that will get you an industry-recognised qualification by spring!
