“The stuff that you learn is very valuable in the work place. And the best part is alot of it is done through group work. So you gain alot of teamwork skills. The tutor also helps you with answers for your portfolio so you never have to do it by yourself. You can get an extra certificate if your doing the hospitality course, by doing a short course on allergens with multiple choice answers for the questions. It gets you an extra certificate in food hygiene and it's free.”

“The Civil Service Employability course run by Strive Training is an exceptional course. It provides both valuable knowledge about the uniquie civial service application format, and practical training on appliactions for jobs. It is unique to other providers by setting real scenario activities to work through from how to search roles, analyses job sepcifications, extract key skills, write targeted persoanl profiles, adapt CVs, and planning/attebding interviews. It was deleviered with great focus and clarity by Steve Carr with many years coach experience who sets a high bar, but has the ability to guide people to that same standard with clear advice and course structure.”

“This employability course by Strive training was very helpful in gaining more knowledge about how and where to apply for jobs and what the approach should be. How to make the CV and cover letter in an effective way that leaves an impression on the recruiter. How to prepare for the interviews in a better way? What should be the approach in answering the questions, and what criteria should be followed to ensure the interview is successful?”
“This has been a thoroughly comprehensive course that has been indispensable to my journey moving forward to become a successful entrepreneur. It is led by the most absolutely amazing trainer (Antonia Kyriacou) who delivers with authenticity, passion and inclusivity, through her amazing story, phenomenally encouraging feedback, and lively, energetic, memorable and relatable delivery style, inspiring me to move forward in my life in a direction that I can finally own from the depth of my being. Her energy is infectious and has really set the foundation and blueprint to what a successful business can look like through her own demonstration of living out what she teaches.
Antoniaβs course has given me not only all the practical tools I need to feel confident that I can move forward with my entrepreneurial dreams, but the encouragement, mindset and feedback to persistently make it a reality. I can already anticipate with firm conviction that when I look back, I believe this will have been the pivotal moment that changed my life journey towards my vision. This was exactly the course I needed at this time in my life and am therefore incredibly and eternally grateful to Antonia for designing, delivering and powering this course, and feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to have had undertaken it, designed and delivered by the exact person I needed, and shared with other amazing fellow entrepreneurs/learners. Thank you from the depth of my being.”

“this was generally well-paced and well navigated by the coach. My major criticism is not of her, but of the material; there is a start-from-scratch component that is then levered into the needs of a Civil Service specific application process. Most of the course is relevant, but day 2 was questionable, especially as a lot of Civ Serv jobs aren't looking for a CV etc in that format. But overall it was a good experience, and Trina Brady was a big part of that, she's a very kind, patient, considerate coach.
One thing I would ask you to do is consider your IT, and those of your clients/students. Zoom can be very demanding on processor usage, and other apps will get very slow. The EmployabilityPlus website also has some issues with uploading documents - or not uploading them - and some elements of it are also very demanding on the CPU. I've had a problem all week with my computer freezing as the demand overwhelmed it. One discipline to adopt might be to ask all people in the room to mute microphones until invited to ask their questions; it helps with managing Zoom, for example, as it's not 'tracking the gallery'. I realise that there is a need for a register, and that initially this should be done with cameras on - but do they need to be on all the time? That also increases the demand Zoom will make on the computer.”
