“Really thorough breakdown of the applciations process for jobs in the Civil Service - particular credit to our trainer, Trina, who managed to keep a group with very "diverse" levels of enthusiasm and motivation all engaged and moving along at a decent pace! The extra input from people currently involved in Civil Service recruitment was also an invaluable insight.”

“The course was good and I learnt a lot about the recruitment process gaining confidence. However, some of the tasks were basic, and I felt the time could have been better on tailored 1:1 feedback. For example, the practice interview, I didnt get told what the assessor would have scored me nor what i needed to do more to get a higher score. The teacher was stretched to get through the workload of 20 participants and at times it felt a little rushed getting though some of the interesting content.”
Many thanks for your overall positive review, and we also appreciate your honest feedback on what could be improved! 😊 We wish you the best of luck with the next steps in your career! 🚀🙌

“Mid-way through the course, I was invited to attend an interview. The interviwer advised I would hear their decision by 13/08/2025, however, an hour and a half after the interview to say they really liked me and have invited me to a 2nd interview. I believe this to be a result of the training.”
That's amazing to hear - thank you for sharing your story! 😃 It sounds like the training has already paid off! We hope the second interview was a great success. Please keep us updated by emailing the team! 🙌😊
“My experience with Strive Training have been absolutely amazing. I had the opportunity to learn new ways of where and precisely how to apply for a Civil service job, but this experience didn't end there. Furthermore I can now understand my strengths and weaknesses, my skills, my values and so I now know my worth in any job also in personal life.
Thank you Strive Training and specifically thank you my Trainer C.M.”

“Strive Training is one of the best trainers I had. They managed to teach us a vast quantity of information in just five days. The trainer, Abi, was very helpful and informative. There are many training courses and seminars around London, but with her you will not feel sleepy or bored; all the information was there to help us and she managed to make us understand the lectures and our job portfolio in a matter of days.
The seminar from the Civil Service staff was also a huge bonus, as now, I have a better understanding of what I have to do and where to find information about how the Civil Service hiring process works.”
Thank you Claudine - we're so pleased to hear that we could help teach you so much information and keep it interesting! 🙌 We're also glad you enjoyed the insight from Civil Service staff. Keep us updated on the next steps in your career journey, we can't wait to hear about how you progress! 🚀😊
“Carlene was one the most impressive tutros I've ever met.
This course has given me a much deeper understanding of workplace health & safety, structured interview preparation, and the expectations of working within the Civil Service. I’ve learned how to identify and report hazards responsibly, understand the shared duties between employers and employees, and apply practical steps like risk assessment and emergency procedures — all of which contribute to maintaining a safe, professional environment.
Most importantly, I’ve gained confidence in how to present my experience and transferable skills clearly in interviews and applications. Through practice with the STAR method, preparing role-specific answers, and building a strong CV and personal profile, I now feel equipped to pursue roles that align with my strengths and ambitions.
I will take forward these lessons into both my work and everyday life — approaching tasks with greater awareness of safety, professionalism, and structure, and continuing to seek growth through reflection and preparation.
Thank you to Strive training and Carlene”
