We are the only organisation in New Zealand to provide the Air New Zealand Airline Integration Course (AIC/MCC), and with our Pacific Simulators 737-800 simulator, students can be prepared to move into opportunities in larger aircraft.

Our Airline Interview Preparation help you understand the processes and practices required to succeed in starting, or evolving your airline career, and our Flight Confidence course is a unique program to help people overcome flight-related anxiety and distress.
