For parents, guardians & caregivers

New Zealand School of Tourism students remain in high demand and our strong connections throughout the industry means we’re often the first port of call whenever job openings arise. Our students are participating in international and domestic internships, with more than 100 students flying off to work overseas and many more interning and working at some of the top tourism operators throughout NZ.

When students graduate from NZST, they often tell us that one of the most important things they’ve learned is to believe in themselves. A newfound confidence and thirst for life emerges, as well as a real knowledge of business operations that applies to all sectors. These are the things that truly equip our students for success.

At New Zealand School of Tourism, we encourage you to be Work Ready, World Ready, so you’ll be expected to come to campus in corporate clothing.

Studylink course-related costs can assist you with the purchase of uniform.

*Note: jandals, slip on shoes with no backstrap or flat shoes are not considered corporate so should not be worn on campus at any time. 

We recommend you have access to a laptop or similar device throughout your studies. However if you don’t have one, please have a chat to our team about your options as we may be able to support you.

It’s really important students have full attendance - if you miss out on work it can be very difficult to catch up and can really reduce your chances of success. Poor attendance might also impact student loans or allowances, and even your chance of being offered a domestic or international internship.

If you’re worried about your child or family members studying, you can talk with one of our Student Enrolment Advisors. However, attending the course is your family member’s responsibility and we cannot give out specific information about them without their prior written permission.

If your child or family member doesn’t get along with their tutor or another staff member, the best way to deal with the situation is for the student to try to resolve the problem by discussing it directly with the individual staff member. However, if they don’t feel comfortable doing this, one of our Student Enrolment Advisors will be happy to help.

All New Zealand School of Tourism campuses are well-located for public transport and students may be entitled to travel discounts. Check our individual campus pages for more details.
