- Being paid to learn:
- A student may earn $9,000.00+ from work during a 600-hour internship.
- For successful students the employer may offer full-time employment post study.
- Being paid during internship effectively reduces the educational investment cost.

- Students need to have achieved the required level of English.
- Students who complete our two-year Diploma of Applied Hospitality Management can join a degree pathway to the Bachelor of International Hospitality Management at AUT University. A further 18 months of study at AUT is required to complete the degree.
