The International Travel College of New Zealand (ITC) has opened a brand new Airport Training Centre at its City Campus. The centre will be the second of its kind in the country, the first having opened at ITC’s Botany Campus in 2009.

ITC, a premium supplier in the airline, airport and travel and tourism industries, won the award for innovation at the New Zealand Tourism Awards.

“We know our Airport Training Centre, where we run our Certificate in Aviation, was a real contributing factor in that,” says ITC’s Managing Director Kerry Priestley. “We are always seeking innovative ways to provide our students with real-life experience, and the practical nature of the course, which focuses on careers with an airline, airport or ground-handling agent, means that our graduates ready to work in their chosen fields.”

The facilities are certainly something special – ITC’s huge airport training centres simulate real-world airports, including check in, customs, gate lounges, and even planes where students are trained in all aspects of in-flight service.

“I am learning so much about the travel industry,” student Alison Harris says. “This course is grooming me for a job at the airport.”

“My training at ITC has definitely helped me with my confidence and knowledge of the travel and tourism industry and thanks to them and my hard work, it has all paid off. I am now working with an exciting career as a flight attendant for Emirates.” Lisi Kaihau (2012 Certification in Aviation graduate).
