AGC Training has always provided a smooth ride on the journey through learning, but now delivers it with military precision.
For decades the Private Training Establishment (PTE) has placed its focus firmly on the student and how best to get them across the line at graduation before often placing them in full-time employment.
But with the appointment of former military man Warren Mant as their learning and Development officer the focus has shifted slightly to the tutor.
Mant's job will be to support tutors in their programme delivery to students.
Mant grew up in the Whanganui district, but has only recently returned after a long career in the military and a short stint instructing at Outward Bound in the Marlborough Sounds.
He joined the RNZAF as a physical training instructor, but for the last six or seven years of his time in the airforce his focus was on management elements, including a long spell managing the medical centre at Ohakea near Bulls.
