Gap Year in 2021or 22 at The International Travel College of New Zealand?

Thinking of taking a gap year in 2021 or 2022? Why not take it at ITC in New Zealand? A gap year can be a fantastic thing - it's a time spent in between different stages of life where you learn, grow, and prepare for the next steps. If you’re ready to spend a year learning, travelling, meeting people, and thinking about what to do next, an ITC qualification could be for you. 

We believe a year of study with ITC could be the perfect solution! ITC offers courses in travel, tourism, and aviation. Students can study with us for just one year of level 3, or stay and continue with level 4 and 5 study as well. These courses are highly relevant for the tourism industry, but are also extremely transferable, as the communication, customer service, and organisation skills learned all apply to countless other roles as well.

And even during 2020 lockdowns, ITC students were able to carry on and complete their studies. We quickly moved our courses online and offered extensive support for every one of our students to ensure the pandemic didn’t impact their ability to earn their qualifications.

Following a year of study with us, students can sign up for an international exchange with ITC. ITC works with The Broadmoor to place students in overseas jobs, which can range from four months to a full year. These opportunities cover 23 countries and cultures, and offer plenty of chances for travel and meeting people, all while learning a skill and gaining valuable industry experience.

Or after studying, students can also go on to work in the industry here in New Zealand, where tourism is already seeing an uptick thanks to the domestic market. However, by the time they graduate, the international market may well be opening up again and in desperate need of skills and qualified staff, meaning our graduates will be in a prime position to find work.

Starting in 2021, all of our courses will have a four-day study week. We’re making the switch to shorter weeks so students can enjoy a better study-life balance, and perhaps even take up part-time work on the side. Or, students can simply enjoy three-day weekends every week, allowing for plenty of relaxing downtime even as they work towards a qualification.

If you’re ready to spend a year learning, travelling, meeting people, and thinking about what to do next, an ITC qualification could be for you. Get in touch with any questions, or to start the enrolment process!
