“Slow but helpful. A lot of feedback was vague and despite my criteria being met, I was told I need to review answers despite this and there would be no comment by the tutor from this so this is not helpful.”
“The course provided a lot of extremely good content over multiple areas. I have been able to improve on updating a target CV and cover letter. In addition to this I was able to understand the STAR process used by the Civil Service, along with greatly improving interview skills and how to respond to questions.
The course material provided was a great aid during the training. Jonathan did a fantastic job or presenting the course material and was very clear with his communication and answering questions from the team.
It was a very benefical course to attend for me and thank you.

“Did you hire a ten year old from Southern California to write the wording for this email?
"We hope you’ve gained a bunch of knowledge and skills from your course!
Now that you’re about to finish it, could you take a second (literally) to rate your experience with the course?"”
“Strive training delivered the course and ensured it was smooth and organised. Steve was a great tutor and had a great charisma about him. He had an excellent insight into the content of the course and showed great passion for the content and helping the people on the course.”
“I am very happy that I had a chance to do the course. The tutor was amazing and the knowledge that I gained is really useful and will help me in my career development.”
“My trainer was excellent.
He couldn't do anything with content as that was beyond him.
Most of us were disappointed with the facts heard from Civil service as we had though it would be a fairly adaptable thing.
The course didn't incorporate any tips for those who want to change careers
We were directed to National Careers service.
Maybe it is good to work with them just as you did with Civil Service.
The examples of situation test we undertook today was fab
I think a little bit more should be built into having real life trials at these areas where people struggle
How to write effective CV's would be fabulous too. We did do it but maybe not so much in depth as we had so much to do and a lot of homework to complete for our portfolio which is not a bad thing at all
Which is all great . Don't get me wrong
I am just feeding bak on expectations that weren't met and this doesn't suggest that the current model isn't good especially since we have people from all over and different entry levels to the course.
Having a go at the interviews were good, the breakout rooms where we had practice was good as we were able to assist each other and provide feedback”
“I really enjoyed this course. It was a good balance of information and lots of opportunities to practise and get actionable feedback. I liked how the host Trina took us through all the various modules. She explained everything in such a clear way and her energy throughout was fantastic. She get's 5 stars!”
“It’s been a worthwhile course that has given me good advice on job applications and interviews in general, as well as the Civil Service in particular.”
“The trainer Trina, was an exceptionally excellent and effective communicator, with a all round receptive attitude to teaching us the realities of approaching a job with the Civil Service from searching for a role to interview stage, as well listening and answering questions.”
“I spent a while trying to avoid this course, and in all honest I had low expectations. After exhausting my options I thought why not give it a chance. I must say I am highly impressed. Trina was very professional and organised, and I’m very happy I had her as a trainer. She I’ve very relatable and has a very good way of explaining things. I also never felt worried to ask for things to be repeated or explained which is unusual in a group setting. I also learnt so much new tips and tools that I will be implementing during my job search x”
“This is a fantastic course, and I have learned so much. I am now much more confident about the transferrable skills that I have and how to highlight them when I am applying for jobs. Trina, the trainer made everything clear and easy to understand, and it was an absolute pleasure to be in her class.”
“I would like to express my appreciation for Trina for the depth of knowledge and expertise she brought to the sessions. Your ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and accessible manner significantly enhanced my understanding of the subject matter. The real-world examples and case studies you incorporated were particularly helpful in illustrating key points and making the content more relatable.
You are fab and Strive is lucky to have you as a trainer”
“This was a brilliant course as tutor was very supportive and knowedgeable. The course was very good as it break down key components such as what is good team work and customer service. You really understand what these terms mean. Through practical and discussions you truely understand how to implement this in the workplace.”
