Brodes 0 #3 June 4, 2004 Welcome! Im moving over to christchurch from australia early next year and discovered this course the other day so thought it could be a great thing to do. What are the costs like? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skibumhass 0 #4 June 5, 2004 costs somewhere 10000 to 12000 nz dollars for overseas students im not 100% sure though because we get subsidised by the govt ( can you believe that) plus you have to buy all your own kit there is an ausie bloke on my intake Ill find out from him later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites yeehaa 0 #5 June 6, 2004 hey there, I too am a student on this course, same intake as hass here. there are some langauge requirements you have to meet too as a foreign student. congrats on the site. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites yeehaa 0 #6 June 9, 2004 I have recently started relative work. I wasn't aware that skydiving could get so much more fun. Hell I was having a blast all by myself!!! sharing the sky with another person kicks serious ass. I can now imagine a life without skydiving as much as I can imagine a life without food. apologies for getting all cheesy and newbie in here but I need to vent it somewhere. HAHAHA! Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
