Testimonials
“There were eight people on my ground course and everyone of us was from a different country. I feel like the skills and habits I have developed from studying at NAC have set me up really well for this job and I am absolutely loving it.” Richard Thomson - Aeroplane CPL, MEIR, C Category Instructor Graduate December 2009.
NELSON AVIATION COLLEGE UNDER 7 RUGBY TEAM

Nelson Aviation College is the extremley proud sponsor of a Motueka United Under 7 Rugby Team. The team took time off from training on Friday 14th May to call into Nelson Aviation College to meet the staff and have a look at our aircraft. We also presented the team with their honorary "wings" for representing NAC on the rugby paddock.
Staff will be following the team closely throughout the season and will attend games on the sideline to yell out their support.
Giles Witney, a senior Flight Instructor, commented "For us, sponsoring this under 7 team is about supporting local youth and being passionate about everything that we do at Nelson Aviation College."
