All students must have both an ID card and PPE before going into the airport environment for practical learning. Students will always be accompanied by a qualified JNPAT instructor.  

Absolutely! JNPAT has its very own student support representative whose primary role is to be there for our JNPAT students. Our Ākonga Support & Cultural Navigator is with us to support our unique, fun and inclusive JNPAT student whānau. We are a team and not one person is to be overlooked.

In addition, our Ākonga Support and JNPAT instructors have many resources to direct you to, to assist, improve and develop your learning. We recognise that each and every one of us comes from different background bubbles filled with their own beliefs, ideas, approaches, skills and knowledge. These bubbles make the JNPAT whānau.
