Allen Williams

Allen Williams

BAdVocEd, BA (Crim & CJ), GDipMgt (Learning), GDipStratLead

Managing Director / Training Manager

Allen is extremely experienced, educated, dedicated and innovative in all areas of training and assessment, having worked in many industries over an impressive 45 years of employment. Allen has 23 years in government and the private sector with 24 years in Vocational Training.

Remaining at the helm of CLET and it's daily operations, Allen regularly attends industry conferences held online currently throughout Australia and internationally and continues to study at both vocational and university levels to ensure CLET is up to date and current with all Vocational Education and industry requirements and reforms, and maintains an extensive list of industry networks and memberships.

Allen’s employment experience commenced in the banking sector with the National Australia Bank. He then moved into management with a leading cinema complex and was asked to open, establish and manage a new store for KFC.

From there, Allen moved into sales with Australian and international companies, then the service industry with Caltex and security before joining the Australian Federal Police (AFP) where he was a member of the Special Operations Team (SOT) and specialised as a sniper and a police pursuit motorcyclist protecting the Governor-General and working alongside the S.A.S and the US Secret Service during the US Presidential visit to Australia during this time.

Learning that many become disadvantaged when they remain entrenched inside some organisational cultures for too long, Allen observed that a successful and modern career must diversify deciding to move from policing into ACT probation and parole and private hotel security, then education and business, completing his Bachelor of Adult and Vocational Education and Bachelor of Arts in Criminology and Criminal Justice while he worked as a Fire Communications Officer with Queensland Fire and Rescue Authority and Griffith University Security.

Allen then entered the teaching profession as a registered secondary school teacher, however, he found a flare for adult and workplace education when he was invited to work with the contracted AFP Driver Training provider TISC, where he was a senior trainer and designed and developed the entire AFP recruit driver training, advanced car and police motorcycle driver training management programs.

When that job was complete, Allen achieved the position as Educational Manager and Justice Administration Qualification Leader with the Gold Coast Institute of TAFE (GCIT), while maintaining his industry expertise in the justice sector as a Probation and Parole Officer with the Queensland Department of Corrections.

Having worked in both the private sector and local, state and federal governments for many years and then a degree qualified adult educational specialist, Allen decided to build and register his own Registered Training Organisation (RTO #31254) in 2006. His desire was to pass on his experience to motivated people who wish to enter or move between employment prepared, confident and competitive. Plus, with this much industry exposure and knowledge of the National Vocational Education and Training Sector, Allen identified that people who already possessed a solid amount of industry knowledge and skills were eligible to have their experience recognised by converting this into appropriate Nationally Recognised Qualifications via the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) assessment process.

In addition to his employment experience, Allen is world travelled, visiting 16 countries to date, has an exceptional marriage with two amazing and highly educated, and successful adult children.

The following list of Allen's academic, employment, professional memberships and industry awards are a testament to the experience he offers both his students, industry, the community, his staff and the vocational sector.
