Co-Founder, Churchill Education I Getting People Qualified | Recognition of Prior Learning | Retired Det Sgt Qld Police | Sometime Trail Runner I Proud Wearer of Hi-Vis Clothing I Even Prouder Family Man
I know a guy. Or at least, I know a guy who knows a guy. My father-in-law always makes me chuckle because he always knows a guy. But it’s the way the world works best. I do my best to share what I know with who I know. There’s plenty of times that I am sending people out to connect with other training organisations. None of us are the answer for everyone to everything. So here’s a question that comes up a lot – and every time it does, I try to know a guy. Or at least know a guy who knows a guy. Hey Randall, do you deliver training in the work health and safety qualifications? No, Churchill Education doesn’t offer study programs for individual people looking to complete our qualifications. And for that reason, you can’t come onto our website and enrol yourself in our work health and safety qualifications. We are By Invitation Only enrolment. Both of those things are linked: we help hardworking people who are looking to obtain the qualifications their experience deserves by substituting work examples for assignments and careers. No study required, because the learning has already been done in their careers. When we know that their work experience is at the standard the qualification requires, we issue an invitation to enrol. So if people come to us for a study option, I do my best to connect them up with another training organisation that does that well. Our Churchill Education Alumni community know to come to us first when they need a hand finding someone for training delivery because we’re going to do our best to point them towards a solid solution. To know a guy who knows a guy. We call it service. They call it, “wow!” Just call me Randall “I’m Your Guy Who Knows a Guy” Smith Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) might just help you gain that next promotion, new job, career change, or even change your life like so many of our graduates at Churchill Education.
