Graduate Reviews
"It was very succinct with respect to what I had to produce, and within no time, to my surprise, my assessment came back with some substantial accreditation."
"You come out of Defence with a broad skill set, particularly in management and leadership, which are two things that are often spoken about but not completely understood."
"I was gobsmacked with the qualifications I was able to achieve. I knew I could get some due to my experience and skill set, but I just didn’t think I’d end up with four!"
"I was really impressed with how quick and professional Churchill was. They are there to help, they don’t beat around the bush, and they don’t leave you hanging."
"As a member of Defence you don’t actually realise this. You can’t apply for civil accreditation, until you actually have a separation day."
“It was very smooth, and very easy to apply. I gave them the information they needed, and they did the rest.”
"‘I went from thinking that I didn’t really have much from nine years of policing to an amazing level of self-worth."
