“Strive training was an excellent course. The tutor Steve was very knowledgeable, safe, patient and always willing to help and answer questions. I thought the course was informative, but at times difficult, required concentration, involvement, care and a willingness to learn.
The group was a safe environment in which our tutor Steve controlled expertly. Everyone learned at their own pace and all the group members helped and encouraged one another.
I have already used techniques learned from the course on new job applications and have gained interviews.
The course gave me confidence and new skills in seeking a new position.
Thank you.”

Thanks to the course, I was able to learn valuable strategies and techniques for each of these areas, which ultimately helped me to create a much stronger and more impressive CV.
