Last week Nadia attended a two-day NZQA course in Christchurch to find out what it would be like to work in her dream career. The International Travel College hosted Nadia and a range of other budding Flight Attendants over the two days. Nadia was able to learn and experience essential topics like customer service, check-in procedures, international travel documentation, and much more.   The International Training College offers programs such as the New Zealand Certificate in Travel and Tourism with a strand in Aviation and the New Zealand Certificate in Tourism with a strand in Tourism & Travel. These programs not only demonstrate dedication to the industry but also provide a solid foundation of knowledge in various areas crucial to flight attendants.

Customer service experience is highly sought after by airlines when hiring new cabin crew, and ITC students benefit from having this experience while pursuing their qualifications.
