“I must be honest and admit that, with quite significant experience that includes having been a recruiter myself, I wasn’t sure the course would add value to me. Sometimes it’s nice to be wrong and this was one of those occasions.
As the title of course suggests, it is aimed at supporting and guiding you in making applications for working in the civil service. It is very effective and targeted to this aim but its content is also incredibly useful for applying for any role in any sector.
The course is very structured and broken down into modules that help develop a self-awareness, confidence and an understanding of what you may be required to effectively apply for suitable roles.
The tutor, in my case Wendy, was both personable and knowledgeable. The group was very diverse in terms of their background, previous experience and skillset but our differing needs were managed very well with everyone having an opportunity to contribute and ask questions.
On finishing the course, I feel far more confident and able to effectively apply for roles in the civil service and beyond. Highly recommended.”

“I found the strive training very helpful to me. I feel I'm now much more equipped to search for a job and have gained some invaluable skills such as Targeting my CV, behaviour statement and cover letter. I've gained lots of confidence in talking within a group, with interview scenarios and with my digital skills, who knew I could multi task so well. I have to say a very big thank you to our tutor Trina, she went over and above to support us all this week, remaining very calm and patient with everyone. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who needs support whilst seeking employment.”

“Recommend doing the course, Steve was absolutely amazing had patience and helped when we needed it he deserves a pat on the back for an outstanding performance in the course”
“My recent completion of a course with Strive Training was an incredibly valuable experience. The content was not only well-structured and engaging, but also highly relevant to the job market, aligning with current industry needs and trends. Assessor Wendy's knowledge, support, and availability for questions made the learning process effective and enjoyable.
One of the key features of the course that stood out for me was its practical approach. It didn't just cover theory; it provided real-world applications and scenarios, making the learning engaging and applicable. The focus on employability skills, such as mastering the STAR technique for interviews and crafting tailored CVs and cover letters, was particularly beneficial.
I recommend Strive Training to anyone looking to upskill, boost their employability, or advance in their career. ZB”
Wow, that was a great review, thank you Zinaida! 🤩 We are so pleased you found so much value in your course - both the theory and practical application, as well as Wendy's support. Good luck with your next steps! 🚀😊
“The training was excellent, and the information provided on the course was really useful, particularly the specific advice about Civil Service application processes and expectations.”
“I didn’t know what to expect when I googled the Employability Course but I needed help applying for jobs as I have been out of the game for 10 years. Trina at Strive blew me away. She was excellent at facilitating and her support, encouragement and knowledge was outstanding. I have taken so much away from this course such as structuring my CV, breaking down my applications and the most beneficial how to prepare for interviews.
I would definitely recommend Strive and take part in another course. Brilliant week. Thank you team Strive.”

“Review strive training
I attended the Civil Service & Employability course Level 1 with Strive Training for one week (from 9:30-16:30) in Croydon. The location was near to my home so it was an easy decision. I didn’t expect much in the beginning but let me tell you that at the end I felt proud of myself, motivated and happy. We had a really nice and patient tutor Roz and a class with 27 people, all from different backgrounds and all searching for a job. The course was long and difficult for all of us because we had to implement the four units: searching for a job, applying for a job, interview skills, safe learning in the workplace. During the units we had an online meeting with civil service employers and had the chance to ask them questions, Roz prepared us for interviews by making mock interviews in groups, we prepared our CV, Cover Letter and all the necessary steps to be prepared for an interview. Strive Training is sending us the certificate after 2 months and is there for us after finishing the course in case we need any help before an interview, can send reference. After finishing the course I went to an interview for business admin with NHS in Wembley and I met Jack from Strive Training and he was very helpful giving me advice and telling me exactly what to do at the interview. I felt great at the interview knowing that they had my back so I was confident and I got it! Thank you Strive Training!!!!”
