ITC launches new tourism courses for current high school students!

Some students on our upcoming Experience will get to do the famous Auckland Harbour Bridge Climb!

High school students shouldn’t have to wait until they graduate to start studying the exciting world of travel, tourism, and aviation.

Yet if your high school doesn’t offer these courses, ITC can help. We’ve just launched three new courses available for high school students. These courses all offer credits at level 3, and can all be completed during normal school time at our Botany Campus.

Here’s a little more about each one!

Are your career goals similar to those of our current Whangarei students?

Our fabulous Whangarei Campus students.

Every year, we ask our students a few questions about why they chose us, and where they’d like to work one day.

We recently checked in with our Whangarei students to learn more about their motivations – or ultimately, why they are here studying with us now!

For anyone considering applying to study at ITC, do these life goals look anything like yours?

Seane is our new Tourism Education Tutor & Marketing Support person!

Seane Gifford, like so many of ITC’s incredible team, has an impressive background in travel and tourism.

New Level 3 Certificate dates available now!

Our course dates are filling up, so we added a new one! Here’s some of the crew from Christmas last year.

The New Zealand Certificate in Tourism with a strand in Tourism and Travel Level 3 is one of our most popular course options.

It’s a fantastic entry-level course for anyone looking to take their first step into a career in travel and tourism, and it covers all the basic information you’ll need to work in a variety of roles, from hotel jobs to flight attending, travel agencies to airports.

This qualification is so popular, in fact, that the next start date on February 12 for the Auckland City Campus is already completely full. That’s why we’ve announced another intake for this course at the Auckland City Campus, which will start on March 11 (and is already starting to fill up!).

ITC to remain Fees Free in 2024!

Even with planned changes to the Fees Free Program, ITC is remaining Fees Free in 2024!

The Fees Free program offers a huge leg up for first time learners in New Zealand, but it is set to change as the government has decided to adapt the policy. Don’t panic, ITC still offers Fees Free to their learners!

Until now, the program has helped students to pay for the first year of their studies. With the new policy, Fees Free will cover the final year of a student’s qualifications, which often means the third year for university students undertaking a standard bachelor’s degree.

This has made some people nervous that potential students might be put off from starting a qualification, but the good news for ITC students is that it largely won’t change anything!
