“Very inclusive course, with a diverse group. Our course leader was amazing; extremely helpful and encouraging. I gained valuable insight and consider the course will provide a wealth of advantages for my current and future pursuits.”
“Strive Training has been an unforgettable experience, an insightful opportunity and a wonderful avenue to meet new people. The training and information provided by my tutor Wendy Hill was fantastic, high-quality and delivered to a high standard, with warmth and a careful eye on all our work in the classes. Additionally, the course structure sufficiently prepared me to understand the role and tasks of a Business Admininstrator and has primed me to be more confident in approaches such roles in future.”
“Useful course, good tutor and cool people on it. Learned quite a bit about applying for a role with thw Civil Service, and about CVs, cover letters and interviews more generally. Course was helpful and opportunity to speak wth other people in similar cicumstances--some also seeking to apply to the Civil Service--was very useful, was good to have. Was a good experience overall.”
“Excellent portfolio platform for Students to cover all units and to follow Tutor's comments, though on Zoom online training for the 60+ Skills for Success Course I Al.. noticed where participants attend and was very blurry screens from my Google notepad so I experienced everyone responding at once to the Tutor' questions. Need more clarity to understand too much different voices at once during the learning outcome units questions. Thank you enjoy

“I found the course content excellent and extremely helpful. It has hightlighted what I need to do to improve my prospects for getting a better job, from re-designing my CV to passing an interview and understanding job applications better, as well as using ALL my experiences to get a job.
I did not like doing the course online - my internet connection at home was unstable at times and I missed important information and even had difficulties joining an important meeting.
With not meeting my fellow group members in person, I felt a lack of support from them as there was hardly any proper interaction, as everyone was in different places doing their own thing. The tutor should have encouraged more group discussions within the course.
She was too focused on getting through the course and I felt at times, however knowledable, and experienced she was as a tutor, she raced ahead and I felt at times left behind not knowing where we were in the course. Things did improve as the course went along and I was able to keep up.”
“Strive are fantastic! They have been very supportive in helping me in my next path in my career.
I would fully recommend using Strive and utilising the courses on offer as they are very benefically.”
“I have just finished my course with Trina and I am very happy the the results Trina helped me a lot with writing my CV and interview techniques and really helped with my confidence”
“As a person whos English is second language but my trainer, Trina Brady, has been very clear, patience and repeated throghout the course. She is expert in making all learner to understand fully before move forward. Also, Trina's high quality has been her patient with different types of learners. Her facial expression throughout the course on Zoom was brightening and motivated.”
“I have rated this as very good because I have learnt alot this week and I feel that Trina who delivered the course was incredibly patient, very knowledgeable and really helpful.
Thank you”
“The course helped improve my job application and interview skills.
It has been a really valuable experience.
The teacher is professional and shows empathy, and understanding as well.
I would recommend this course.”
“Strive Training is so informative where I have learnt how to write a CV, job searching, interview training. So grateful indeed to my tutor Jonathan and entire strive training team for this great opportunity. Thank you”
“I found the Civil Service Employability course to be very helpful in supporting my career progression. I have gained a substantial amount of knowledge, not only about applying to the Civil Service but also regarding applying for various other job opportunities. For example, I have become aware of the areas where I might have gone wrong in my job application forms.
Finally, I feel more confident in my ability to respond to interview questions. Overall, I am very grateful for all the knowledge regarding applying for jobs Carlene our course leader has imparted to us all this week because I believe I will now be able to successfully demonstrate why I am the best candidate for the prospective jobs I am applying for.”
“Easy set up.
Nice and knowlagble career advisor.
Great opportuinty to be with people as being out of work can be a lonly experience.
However, for those of us who have had a good career in a professional settting this is course is not necessary.
For me the day that I got real value from was when the Civil service advisor came in for use to ask questions.
I would recomend this course to anyone who will be new to work such as school/uni leaving students or those who need to upskill into a new career.”
