These courses are also available during the year, but this time, we wanted to give students the opportunity to make the most of their summer break, and to help out the travel and tourism that’s so desperate for qualified staff.

In fact, our Business of Tourism Academy offers Year 12 and 13 students in Auckland and Whangarei the chance to earn up to 30 level 3 credits throughout their school year.

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.
