‘Finally, I could get the new start I was looking for.’
When Churchill Education co-founder, Randall Smith, left the Queensland Police Service
after sixteen years, he felt like all his experience counted for nothing.
As a celebrated Senior Detective, a diagnosis of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) left Randall reeling. He lost everything – his identity, career progress, and sense
of self-worth.
‘My skills, knowledge and training meant something to people in the police, but not on the outside,’ Randall explains. ‘I felt pretty hopeless. I looked at job ads and knew I could do what they were asking for, but I had no way of proving it.’
Someone told Randall about RPL and he thought he’d give it a go.
It’s indescribable, Randall says, how rewarding it was to see his experience translated to civilian qualifications. ‘The quals validated my transferrable skills and abilities. Finally, I could get the new start I was looking for.’
That new start was Churchill Education.
