The evening also saw the inaugural recipients of the National Certificate in Aviation (Ramp Operations) graduate. The National Certificate in Aviation – Ramp Operations Qualification is a mechanism to formally recognise the work that the ramp staff currently complete and align it to NZQA standards. The team have strived for up to two years to complete all assessments whilst being employed in normal operational duties. This has required a significant amount of dedication and commitment not only by the recipients but also the training coordinators and On Job Trainers. The recipients were justifiably very proud of their achievements and thoroughly enjoyed being given the opportunity to graduate in front of their friends and family. The team are also very proud of what they have achieved and they have now set the benchmark for the rest of the team to strive for.
