Find your place in aviation.

JNPAT offers a range of programmes across three key areas of the aviation and airport industry — Ground Operations, Flight, and Aeronautical Engineering.

For secondary school students (years 11–13), our courses help you explore potential career pathways while gaining valuable industry skills and NCEA credits, often funded by your school.

If you’re a school leaver or career changer, our tertiary-level training in aeronautical engineering prepares you to be employment-ready and transition smoothly into an apprenticeship role.

For those already working in the industry, we provide opportunities to formalise your on-the-job experience with recognised qualifications that strengthen your career prospects and future-proof your CV.
