We currently offer 4 Distance/Online courses – three National Certificate courses through our sister college Travel Careers and Training Ltd and one completely online Flight Attendant Programme.

The 3 National Certificate courses are run through our joint Head Office in Hamilton and there is a designated Tutor that takes care of all students studying from home.  The courses are offered in written format and we are currently developing online resources as an alternative to some of the unit standards within each qualification. 

Our completely online initial International Flight Attendant training Programme covers over 175 subjects. This course is unique and gives you an in depth look at the duties and responsibilities of being a flight attendant.

Tourism marketing has always interested me especially when it comes to slogans.

NZ Tourism uses 100% Pure to play on our clean and green image which wasn't quite as controversial as Australia asking  "Where the bloody hell are ya?" and my personal favorite from Bangladesh's tourist authority "Come to Bangladesh before the tourists" but really it's our NZ cities that entertain me the most.
Hamilton's slogan "where it's happening" (which is the first thing you see as you drive in) might be a slight overstatement (I can say that as I live there), but there are a number of slogans that tell you exactly what you can expect like Auckland  "City of Sails", "Hawkes Bay Wine Country" or even T"aranaki Real People, Special Place" then there are the little gems like the one I read an article about today.

Surprisingly Dunedin has decided to change their slogan  "I am Dunedin" I can't understand why surely with that slogan the tourists must be flocking in their direction!

Now of course the Sir George Seymour College has a campus in Dunedin, and we feel an obligation to help out here.

So I open this up to you, the Dunedin City Council is asking for ideas lets see what we can come up with.
