“I had a really good experience with Strive. The platform is clear, well organised, and easy to use, which made the whole course feel manageable. Steve, my tutor, was great. He explained everything clearly, was always happy to answer questions, and made me feel supported throughout the course.
I really enjoyed the Civil Service Employability course and would recommend it to anyone who wants to understand the Civil Service better and feel supported while going through the process.”

“Very Good. I feel motivated and more prepared especially for Civil Service jobs. I also feel like my CV has been really strengthened in the process. I have already applied for private sector job with my new and improved CV and cover letter and also felt more confident in answering on application forms.
Janet the tutor was incredibly gracious, firm and patient and an excellent coach.
The course reaffirmed my skills and want to work with people and help train and develop people and hopefully become a work coach or people manager.
Feedback to work on:
Could Strive training invest in better cameras and mics for their coaches? At times people had hearing issues and the camera wasn't crisp or completely clear, I used to run zoom events and we invested in this (inexpensive) for the user experience.
Can coaches be firmer with asking people to mute? Could hear breathing/typing etc was distracting. She was very good and firm at asking people to have cameras on however
Thanks Strive (and Janet!)”

“I am trying to improve my skills in something that will help my working career and allow me to grow into a bigger role. I did not realise at first that this course was mainly focused on CV writing, which led to a lack of commitment because I did not fully understand its value at the time. I now recognise that these skills can be useful, especially for future job applications, and I wish I had understood this earlier. I believe choosing a course that feels more productive and better aligned with my goals would help me engage more fully.”
Thank you for your honest review Aldo - we're pleased to hear that you could find the value in the course, even if it came a little later in the process. π Wishing you the best of luck with your next steps, and we hope you'll keep us updated! π
“My experience in my course / training, gave me the oportunity to have extra qualification to use in the near future. Strive training is the hope that everyone should have. To refress your knowledge or use the ability to have extra qualifications.”
“I feel much more confident now that I have completed the training. The tutor was very supportive and informative. Overall, it was a really positive experience, though a slightly smaller group size may have been easier at times.”
