Alex Aldridge

Course: Uniformed Services
School: Queen Charlotte College

Alex is a keen hunter and being in the outdoors is a place where he feels at home. The opportunity to learn about the Police Force and Search and Rescue came up through the Uniformed Services course and Alex saw this as the perfect chance to polish up his outdoors skills and take a look at the Police Force as a career pathway.

Alex is enjoying the practical activities of the course especially the Police Fitness test and challenging himself to detective-style memory activities that have encouraged him to remember the facts and to be observant.

“Our instructors are easy to talk to, are happy to share their knowledge and their ‘good work’ stories. They make us feel comfortable and included.”

Alex is thankful for the opportunity to attend the Uniformed Services course. He would recommend attending a Trades course as he says “it’s the perfect way to try something first before committing to a career path.”
