The quality of education and the student support services at CPIT are excellent for international students. The tutors are very friendly and easy to understand. They help you to learn English well by correcting your mistakes in a friendly manner and I found that they also make an effort to help you to relax when you are participating in class. This helps you to gain more confidence in speaking in English.
The Certificate in Foundation Studies prepares you for doing more study at a higher level. It allowed me to improve my English speaking and listening skills as well as gain new skills in IT which can be applied to any job or future study.
I am now studying the National Diploma in Hospitality Management at CPIT. It is a really practical course and therefore is a really good programme for international students to study as you learn by watching the teacher a lot. When I finish my studies I hope to get a job in a hotel and work my way up to becoming a manager.
Christchurch is the main centre of the Canterbury region, an elegant old city close to the Southern Alps.
