“Choosing to study at MIT is the best decision I made.”
“Choosing to study at MIT is the best decision I made. It has a great location, fantastic teaching staff, and real-world degrees.
I studied a National Diploma in Hospitality Management and was impressed by the supportive and personalised approached to teaching. The lecturers would build on our strengths and develop our weaknesses so we were always improving. Hospitality is a practical industry where some core skills can’t be taught in traditional classrooms, so the hands-on training we received was invaluable.
Before graduating I was scouted to work for some of Auckland’s best hospitality companies. I’m now based in Sydney, working for one of the city’s finest caterers. I look after a huge portfolio of companies, catering for some of Sydney’s biggest clients.
MIT gave me the foundation and skills to progress faster in my line of work, which I continue to build on.”

“Everyone is very supportive here.”
“I’m passionate about hair. I wish I would have started two years ago right when I first had the thought, I should have studied straightaway.
At Level 3 we work on mannequins which is very different from working on clients. After level 3 we started to take clients in the salon which is really good because you get the feel of real clients.??
I really enjoy working with the students and my lecturers, they’re very helpful, the lecturers are very supportive. Everyone is very supportive here; students are also very helpful. We all work as a team here.
My advice for people who want to come and study at MIT is don’t wait. If you think you want to study just start, I really enjoy it. Come and study.”

“Five stars to MIT and highly recommended.”
“Prior to studying at MIT, I was working at a supermarket which I wasn’t satisfied with. I wanted to do something different so I chose to study logistics at MIT.
This course gave me such a high level of logistics and freight forwarding knowledge, and made me ready to step into the industry.
My time at MIT was really great and our lecturers were always supportive. They always helped by going the extra mile to give me answers to my questions – even if it was during their break-times or home-time?– staff and lecturers were always happy to help.
I thank MIT for giving me both the knowledge and a qualification which helped me step into the industry with so much confidence.
Today, I can say is I am successfully working in logistics and freight forwarding industry because of my education at MIT.
Five stars to MIT and highly recommended.”
