Big Things Are Happening at Major: Churchill Education Joins the Major Training Group
We are proud to announce that Churchill Education RTO 31430 has officially joined the Major Training Group umbrella, marking an important step forward in our mission to help Australians build skills, gain qualifications, and receive recognition for what they already know.
For more than 25 years, Major Training has supported thousands of people across Australia to gain practical, nationally recognised skills across civil, construction, transport, and engineering. Now, with Churchill’s Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) expertise as part of the group, we are expanding the ways Australians can learn, grow, and have their experience formally recognised.
This is not just an acquisition; it is the next stage in how we help people build their future.
Training. Experience. Recognition. All under one group.
What This Means for Learners
Whether you are just starting out or have decades of experience, this makes it easier than ever to move forward.
Through Churchill Education’s nationally recognised RPL, now part of the Major Training Group, individuals can:
- Turn their existing experience into qualifications by gaining recognition for their work and on job learning saving time and money.
- Advance their careers with qualifications that are recognised across Australia.
If you have completed training with Major in the past, you may already be closer to your next qualification than you think. Churchill offers RPL pathways across a wide range of qualifications, including Leadership and Management, Work Health and Safety, Business, Project Management, Logistics, Human Resources, Government and Investigations, Security and Risk Management.
What This Means for Industry
For employers, this means a stronger, more streamlined way to build and retain skilled teams.
Major’s practical training expertise combined with Churchill’s proven RPL process creates a complete workforce solution:
- Train new talent through nationally recognised qualifications & industry short courses.
- Recognise existing capability through RPL.
- Develop future-ready teams across every level of your organisation.
It is a practical, efficient approach built around how real work happens.
Why Churchill Education
Founded by Randall Smith, a former detective, and Tricia Velthuizen, a former Crown Prosecutor, Churchill Education was built on courage, compassion, and the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to have their experience recognised.
For almost two decades, Churchill has helped Australians across defence, mining, transport, and emergency services convert their experience into qualifications that open doors.
This story aligns perfectly with Major’s purpose: helping Australians build real skills, real careers, and real futures.
Together, we are connecting training, experience, and recognition, ensuring that every skill is valued and every experience counts.
Looking Ahead
As part of the Major Training Group, Churchill Education RTO 31430 will continue to operate with the same trusted team and proven approach, now strengthened by Major’s 25+ year legacy and industry partnerships.
- For learners, this means simpler and faster pathways to qualifications.
- For employers, it means more ways to upskill and recognise existing talent.
- For Major Training Group, it reinforces our commitment to supporting Australia’s workforce through education that delivers real outcomes.
At Major, we do not just deliver training — we build futures.
