Your future in aviation could start here.

JNP Aviation Training (JNPAT) offers an exciting opportunity for you to explore the dynamic world of airport and aviation careers through our specialised pathway courses in Ground Operations, Flight, and Aeronautical Engineering.

We offer immersive, authentic learning experiences right in the heart of the aviation industry. Thanks to our strong relationships with industry partners, you’ll get behind-the-scenes access to areas of the airport that are normally off-limits - giving you unique, real-world insight into how the industry works, and whether it’s the right fit for you.

Our courses combine practical, industry-based learning with essential theory, giving you a strong foundation for both vocational pathways and further tertiary study - all while you’re still at school. You'll also earn NCEA credits and build valuable skills to strengthen your CV!

As a trusted tertiary training provider, we partner with aviation experts and industry leaders to deliver relevant, skills-based education in real airport environments - an opportunity that no other provider can match.

We understand that making decisions about your future can feel challenging. That’s why our programmes are built to support you every step of the way - helping you make informed choices, explore your interests, and discover where you belong in the world of aviation.
