Careers in the Hospitality Industry

At Nelson Training Centre we assess and develop skills and attributes of our students and match them with suitable employers.

We place students into suitable work experience into the local hospitality industry once most practical unit standards are completed



We also started the modern apprenticeship scheme in Nelson graduating the first apprentices in the South Island. Bouterays Restaurant, Hopgoods Restaurant, Anchor Bar and Grill and Rutherford Hotel all successfully took on apprentices from Nelson Training Centre.

Attitude Determines Performance:


All our staff hold true to the motto "Attitude Determines Performance" and they seek to instill it in all students who pass through the training centre.

Our tutors are proficient and up-to-date with current trends. More importantly, they are able to drive students to understand what it takes to gain sustainable employment.

By teaching students to adopt the right attitude, they can maximise their own potential to gain employment.
