Ours is a culture of experiential learning brought to life in our students and our team. We call it Critical Thinking and Doing. We’re a Category 1 private education provider and our systems, processes and environment in four campuses across Auckland are all purpose-designed to help make our students shine.
There’s a restless, infectious energy that fuels our entrepreneurial spirit and the need to try new things in new ways. Yet we have the deepest respect for and learn from our past. Our whakapapa goes so much further back than the day we opened our doors in 2001. We started this business to help address talent shortages back then and that is still where we focus much of energy. Our qualifications are all NZQA recognised.
We’re an innately creative group of educators and students who openly celebrate purposeful play, speaking up and speaking out and the freedom to do and make. We also know it’s how our students best learn. It’s in our DNA.
You can expect a strong sense of belonging, respect for difference, and an openness to new relationships and connection. As individuals, our sense of people and place, our sense of community is what gives life meaning.
For us community means family, friends, fellow students, colleagues, organisations, cities and towns, regions and countries. For us, it’s all part of the same picture, just a change of scale.
We believe in growing confident, capable people who go on to contribute to their chosen communities. It’s our vision for Aotearoa New Zealand and for our students and people.
Our students and staff are a resilient and hard-working bunch. Ours is a place where we rub shoulders and learn together, taking calculated risks, trying new things, being agile and resolving everyday challenges, just like we do in life, right? We’ve figured out if you look after the whole person, not just their study, there’s a better chance they will flourish. It will come as no surprise then, that we care deeply about every single student and every single one of of our wonderful people. In Aotearoa there’s a beautiful Māori word for that. It’s called aroha.

The event featured opportunities for students to talk with employers, learn about their industries, take part in career seminars, and check out a student project showcase. Exhibitors included recruitment companies Absolute IT and ZEIL, construction firms Fire Guard and Dimond Roofing, as well as The Permalinks, Soho Hotel, Sole Agents and City Forex NZ Ltd from the business sector. Some of the businesses were represented by the AIC alumni or current students who work there. Two career seminars ran during the expo. Redvespa Consultants’ Head of Consulting and Head of Talent Recruitment led a session with two consultants, and students also heard from the CEO of Total QS. The IT project showcase highlighted the creativity and technical skills of our students. One group built a 2D game with multiple levels and a boss battle. Another student created BookNest, an app for book sharing and community reading. Other projects explored smart gardening, AI translation, tramping communication, and music technology. We appreciate the student helpers who ensured everything ran smoothly, and the students, staff and alumni who supported the expo. Thank you to all the industry partners who took time to meet students, share their insights, and offer career guidance.
