“The training was very good and informative. It also gave me a insight on how I can use my current skills and the new skills which I've learnt to applying for jobs within the civil service.”
“would like to give heartfelt feedback for my outstanding and beautiful teacher, Antonia. She has been incredibly supportive and instrumental in helping me structure my business plan step by step, making what initially felt overwhelming feel achievable and empowering.
Choosing the Business Start-Up course was a fantastic way to begin the year. The course was not only educational but also therapeutic, as it helped me rebuild my self-esteem and confidence. Through Antoniaโs guidance, I now feel equipped with everything I need to move forward and start something for myself with clarity and purpose.
I have gained valuable knowledge, not only about starting and running a business, but also about how to source information independently when I am unsure. This has given me confidence to continue learning and problem-solving beyond the course.
I truly feel privileged to have Antonia as my teacher. Her encouragement, patience, and passion have made a lasting impact on my personal and professional growth, and I am extremely grateful for her support. Thank you, Antonia :)”

“I have enjoyed my experience at strive learning more about the hospitality and catering sector though the course I attended, utilising the knowledge I found through research and how I can implement it in future endeavours.”
“What an excellent course. The content and delivery were spot on, and even my System Adminsitration background got a referesh and made me relevant again. If you get the opportunity to get on the course, grab it with both hands, it could be your new future. Cyber Security Level 3 training is a blast and enjotable, lucky to have had a good crew of classmates. Employability ratings 8.5, the other 1.5 is you :) You get what you put in.”

“I recently completed Strive Trainingโs Civil Service employability course. Much of the content covered ground I was already familiar with, but I still picked up a few useful tips - especially around competency answers. The trainer was clear and created a positive learning environment. Overall, a good course, particularly helpful for those newer to Civil Service applications.”

“This course was the best thing could have happened to me at the start of this year. I am very happy that I accepted to do it. The tutor is a very patient person , helpful and friendly.”
“There was a lack of structure signaling from the beginning and during the week. Signposting what was going to be covered and so navigating the course would have create much needed context.
45 min to generate the cover letter and CV were inadequate, particularly for those who were starting from scratch.
Additionally, time set aside to focus on pieces of work were frequently interrupted with attendees have personal conversations with the trainer. Some housekeeping rules up front about how to relay private issues directly would have helped.
There was also a time when the trainer interrupted unnecessarily and completely broke the flow of a participant who was feeding back. They should have been allowed to finish and the feedback given at the end.
Also, one of the presenters, a civil service employee, spoke for 45 min and didn't engage well with his camera being turned off and his tone seemed somewhat arrogant.
All told I'm not sure the course successfully convinced me to apply for jobs with the civil service and the only takeaway of value was the use of STAR method.”
