• New Zealand Certificate in Ground Operations, Ramp Handing (Level 3), and
• New Zealand Certificate in Airport Operations (Levels 4 and 5)
FEEDBACK FROM LEARNERS - WHAT DID YOU LIKE MOST?
"Getting to see all the equipment and operations so far. It's enjoyable"
"Aircraft on the apron and visiting the ATR [aircraft] was cool"
"I liked the class engagement'
"Going out on the ramp and seeing how things get done in person out there"
"Just going out in the aviation [environment] was fun itself, learning lots of things, getting to see lots of things. And understanding the ramp and all of the other jobs instead of only piloting"
Year 11 to 13, JNPAT will work with school teachers to ensure this is the right gateway for each interested learner.
The purpose of this micro-credential and gateway programme is to provide learners with an introduction to the aviation ground operations industry.
Graduates of this gateway will be able to:

* apply health, safety and security rules relevant to a role in aviation ground operations
* interpret baggage label information and process baggage for loading
* check and prepare aircraft baggage trolleys for baggage loading

Holders of this micro-credential will have the skills and knowledge to continue to train as ramp operators in the aviation environment.

To achieve this micro-credential, trainees must at all times comply with the relevant aviation regulatory authority, Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
