“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.”

“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.”

The tutors were personable, thorough, and knowledgeable. They gave constructive feedback. I came away clearer about what is required for a successful job application.”

“Antonia Kyriacou has been an excellent tutor from start to finish. She has been a great motivator, especially as I began the course lacking confidence. I have now completed it with absolute confidence—not just in a professional setting, but personally as well. Antonia has been incredibly helpful, empathetic to my situation as an unemployed learner, and consistently understanding and knowledgeable. Thanks to her support, I’ve finished this course feeling motivated and full of perseverance.”

“The course was intense, but Connie was an amazing teacher. She was patient, kind and incredibly supportive. She helped us through every step. Thank you, Connie”
“I had a fantastic experience on the 5-day Civil Service course with Strive Training. The course was brilliantly led by our trainer, Steve, who was fantastic in his approach to delivering the course. He was honest, approachable, and always willing to help and share his knowledge. His support made a real difference. The course was incredibly informative and provided me with a wealth of valuable insights and resources that I can take away and continue to use. It gave me a better understanding of the Civil Service, the application process, and how to use the STAR method effectively when completing applications and attending interviews. I would strongly recommend Strive Training and the Civil Service Employability course for anyone pursuing a career in the Civil Service.”
