Lock in your post-exam plans!

Prepare your plans for after your exams and enrol in our November intake for level 3!

High school exams are just around the corner, and while there’s a huge push to study hard and get good results, there’s still a big question left – what’s next?

At ITC, we’ve made it easy to finish your high school studies and jump straight into earning a valuable, industry-recognised qualification. That’s because our courses start in November, so you won’t waste any time over summer. Instead, you’ll be counting down to graduation as your peers are counting down to starting their own qualifications in early 2025!

Read on to learn more about your options for level 3 qualifications in travel and tourism, and for how our current level 3 students are enjoying their studies.

What to do if you’re back at school – but don’t feel like it’s for you

Not sure if high school is the right choice for you this year? There is another option!

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

This famous quote is attributed to none other than Albert Einstein, and it’s a wise way of explaining that everyone is great at something – but we’re not all going to excel at the same things.

For example, some people do really well in school and enjoy their time there. For others, they’re left sitting in the classroom wondering why it just doesn’t feel quite right. And if you feel like a fish trying to climb a tree, then it might help to remember that there are other options!

ITC announces new August and November course start dates

To help with demand for staff, ITC is launching two new start dates for our level 3 courses this year.

Here at ITC, we’ve spent the entire past year talking about how the travel and tourism industry will desperately need qualified workers as soon as the borders reopen.

Now that we’re seeing those staff shortages really kicking in, we want to do everything we can to help the industry. We know the industry needs us, as a provider of valuable travel and tourism qualifications, to help prepare the next generation of workers.

Due to the demand of people wanting to study tourism and the fact we want to help our industry, ITC has decided to add two new start dates for our Auckland City and Botany Campuses.
