At Crown, we don’t just focus on your academic studies, we want you to become the best you can be – personally, professionally and academically. We offer internships for our students, and networking events with industry leaders to help you step into your dream career. We are a small school, that allows us to provide personal assistance to all our students, with a dedicated Wellbeing Manager who is here to help you out if you need.
We offer a range of scholarships with differing criteria. Please contact us for details.
Yes, we work hard so that our courses are up to date and match what the industry needs. Because of this, our graduates are well regarded in the industry. In addition to this, your internship placement may turn into a permanent job, and you will have access to several informal job opportunities if you attend our networking events for students
Level 3 courses give you a basic overview of a subject, and while you may find a job with this qualification, in order to maximise your employability, we recommend Diploma (Level 5) courses. These courses will enable you to progress faster and will give you the skills to analyse information and trends in your field.
We will show you how to be resilient, resourceful and caring during your studies. These are important attributes for any person to have. In addition, your academic work will improve your language and numerical skills, teach you how to research a subject and analyse how things can be improved. We also help you with grooming, C.V. writing and job interviews, and the importance of networking in your field of interest.
Crown students do not have to wear a uniform, but we do have a dress code. The dress code is smart casual, which is the most common type of clothing requirement in most workplaces. We believe that having students manage their own clothing results in a better understanding of what is appropriate in a workplace.
We only run our full-time courses during business hours currently. We are investigating online learning options so that students who want to study at a time of their choosing can do so. Watch this space!
Crown is as diverse as the city we serve! Around 80% of our students are kiwis, and have students from all backgrounds, just as you would find anywhere in Auckland.
We support our students in several ways:
In addition to the points in the previous question, Crown supports our Maori and Pasifika students by:
We are a small school, so you will get to know your fellow students and tutors very well. We aim to be as accessible as possible – we have an open-door policy so you can have a chat to your tutors, Academic Director or the Office Manager if you wish.

Yes! If you are a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident of New Zealand the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) pays a large portion of your school fees.
Absolutely. Our contacts within the industry are one of the things that sets Crown apart from other schools. Not only do we have these contacts, we encourage you to meet these people at regular networking events we hold, such as industry seminars or Young Skal events. We even sponsor the membership fees for some students to join these events. We work very closely with these experts in both travel and hospitality to help design our courses to ensure we are producing work-ready graduates. Both industries are dynamic and always changing, that is why it is important for us to maintain relationships with these fields to keep up-to-date and informed.
All tutors at Crown have relevant industry experience; some have worked as Flight Attendants; others have worked at five-star hotels and award-winning restaurants! Many of our tutors still work part time in the field they teach – this allows them to keep up to date with industry practices
At Crown, we teach in a classroom environment. Class sizes are usually small, under 20 students. We believe students can engage with their tutors more effectively in a smaller class with less students. The small classes also promote a feeling of camaraderie between classmates.
Worldwide School and Crown Institute collaborate closely to enhance each other’s educational services and offerings. The same education group owns the two schools and has partnered to create English & Vocational Study pathways and short-term internship programmes for many international students.
