“Strive training has helped me a lot during this course I have learnt the STAR method to use when answering the questions at the interview and also I have learnt about the civil service as well and how it works. My tutor has helped me a lot to understand and how to structure my answers when answering interview questions and went through the presentation really well and explained everything in detail.
Thank you Steve”

“This course was one of the best learning experiences I’ve had. It gave me the tools, knowledge, and confidence to turn my business idea into a real and professional plan. Everything was practical, relevant, and clearly explained.
The support from my tutor, Antonia Kyriacou, was outstanding. She believed in me from the start and made sure I understood each topic fully. Her energy, passion, and encouragement made a big difference — she truly wants her learners to succeed.
I now feel ready to launch and grow SparkLink Ltd with a strong foundation. I’m extremely grateful for this opportunity and would highly recommend this course to anyone thinking of starting a business. Thank you for everything!”

“This course with Antonia has been a transformational experience — both professionally and personally.
On a practical level, I now have a structured business plan and an operational toolkit tailored to my goals. I’ve clarified my vision, refined my offers, and built a framework that truly reflects my values and the audience I want to serve. The course helped me think more strategically — not only about what I want to do, but how I’m going to do it, with systems and processes that are both scalable and grounded in purpose.
But the most lasting impact has come from Antonia herself — from her teaching, her energy, and her empathy. She didn’t just deliver content; she brought insight, encouragement, and a genuine belief in each participant. Her ability to combine strong business knowledge with emotional intelligence made a real difference.
Antonia has become a role model to me. She taught by example how to lead with positivity, resilience and integrity. Her words reminded me to own my ambitions and to recognise how far I’ve come. She created a space where I could challenge myself, grow in confidence, and step into my next chapter with clarity and strength.
I’m leaving this course not just with a plan, but with the mindset and motivation to turn that plan into something real. I now have a clear direction, a portfolio I can use and grow from, and the confidence to move forward knowing I’m equipped — and not alone.”
Thank you so much for leaving such a detailed review Serena, we really appreciate it! ⭐😃 It sounds like you had an excellent time on our Creating a Business Start-Up course and that Antonia was a wonderful representative for Strive Training. 🙌 We wish you all the best as you continue your early stages in business, and hope you come back to let us know all about your progress in the near future! 🚀
“howdy! yes so. Trina was a very good tutor. Not too bossy and incredibly tolerant. The problem was that there were two courses running simultaneously: The entrance to Civil Service careers intended for professional people; and a general training course on applying for jobs. The people on the latter included a driver, a hospital porter and a warehouse worker (me). These two sets had different needs and I could see it was hard to balance the two. I'd suggest more selectivity for the course.”
Thank you for your overall enthusiastic review Keith! 😊 We always listen to constructive feedback, and we appreciate the time you took to write your comments. Do keep us updated on your progress over the coming months! 🙌🚀
