Aspire2 International is launching its new short course in Auckland – “Hospitality Essentials.” This was created for international students who have a strong interest in learning the core fundamental skills that are needed for working at a bar, restaurant, or café – so that they can support themselves financially (and earn some extra money to travel around New Zealand) outside of study hours.

Aspire2 International hospitality department tutors created a short course to meet these student needs. The Hospitality Essentials Short Course not only teaches students all the necessary functional skills required, but it also teaches them how to process conflict, and manage interactions with customers from various cultures.

This equips participants with skills that are not only useful in New Zealand, but anywhere in the world. Students leave with a sense of confidence – which is an attitude that makes a marked difference in the field of hospitality.

Placements are filling up fast in Auckland and there are plans to have this course running in Christchurch and Tauranga soon.

All of Aspire2 International’s programmes have been designed to be highly practical, so students will be ‘work ready’ when they graduate. Everything students learn at the institution gives them the skills required to work in their chosen career. It works closely with its industry partners to help students acquire the skills employers look for in graduates. Throughout their study, students will have opportunities to gain insights into industry practice directly from the institution’s industry partners.

Students can launch or extend their careers with a positive and engaging study experience at Aspire2 International.

Aspire2 International’s English language programme as well as its range of certificates and diplomas are delivered using the most recent content and techniques, designed to be aligned with industry standards. It also works with industry leaders and the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) to keep its curriculum fresh and relevant.

The following are some of the students’ experiences of studying at Aspire2 International:

“Before coming to Aspire2 I was working as a food runner at The Sugar Club, by Peter Gordon. I wanted to learn more about the industry, and fast. I enrolled at Aspire2 International because it’s number one for hospitality training here (New Zealand). I particularly enjoyed the restaurant and café training and learning how to build strong customer relationships. The tutors at Aspire2 are fantastic, and you really feel like you are part of a family there. The skills and knowledge I gained during my diploma studies have really helped me launch my career in New Zealand.” - Prateek Arora| Hospitality

“Aspire2 International tutors are professional, humorous and responsible. They’re also patient and happy to take the time to help their students work through any problems. I can appreciate how difficult it must be running such a busy campus, but the tutors and staff here are all doing such a great job.” - Siqing Sun | Engineering

“Studying at Aspire2 International was the ideal pathway into becoming a Registered Nurse here in New Zealand. I had total support from the staff and teachers at all times. They reassured me when I was about to take my English exam, they encouraged me when I was job hunting, and they even provided counselling support when I really needed it.” - Ailex Valdez | Health Services
