Airways New Zealand has been awarded New Zealand Government approval for a new technical maintenance engineering programme which is opening doors for potential customers in both Asia and the Middle East.
International students now qualify for a New Zealand study visa, following New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) approval of the Introduction to Air Traffic Safety for Electronics Personnel (ATSEP) programme. Students can add a further two or three months of study in technical English Language, meaning that studying in New Zealand is becoming a very attractive option for international students in this specialist subject.

The programme includes courses in communication principles, data network basics, ANS radio,
