International Visitors into New Zealand
International travel is back to normal: if you wish to visit New Zealand and take part in one of our courses, you need to consider which passport you have and which course you are looking at.
Most of our courses can be done with a straightforward visitors visa. A lot of passport holders don’t even need to apply for a visa, have a look at the list of visa waiver countries.
Work & Train: If you are looking at Work & Train course with us, or you would like to work when you are in New Zealand, then you will need to obtain a valid work visa, or have the right to work in NZ. The New Zealand government runs a lot of Working Holiday Scheme visa which can be a great option.

Life-changing experiences happen here
There is nowhere else quite like Queenstown.
Seriously spectacular on and off the mountain, Queenstown is a small southern town that punches well above its weight. Epic ski resorts, high-energy people, world-class trainers and endless outdoor adventures. There’s a lot to love.
SITCo students live in Queenstown and train at Coronet Peak and The Remarkables, two of New Zealand’s best mountain resorts. While we think Queenstown is a pretty amazing place, we know moving to a new town can bring challenges, especially for our younger trainees. The SITCo team is here to guide and support you every step of the way. Whether it’s up on the hill, during daily life in Queenstown or when it comes time to plan your next steps after training.
