“Overall The course was useful. Some valuable information to help with getting back into employment. Panel engagement that's offered through Zoom chat was good. Got some helpful information through discussion. Some available options for employment But I felt the course could have been condensed. The course felt a bit too long with long hours.”
“The course was very informative overall, I just think the material could be updated, the questions and tasks could be worded a bit more clearly, and for the questions to not repeat as much.”
“I did not enjoy my first class with a certain tutor/assessor but when I asked to change classes I thoroughly enjoyed the teaching pace and passion of the next tutor”
“Strive provided an informative course and the tutor worked hard to ensure all learners completed their work with an understanding of the lessons involved.”
“Great course and a nice class size. I would recommend this to friends and family, especially if confidence when applying for jobs has been knocked. Generally speaking, I found that there was a lack of coordination with the admin team on multiple occasions. I would resolve an issue with one colleague and then receive multiple calls and emails from other team members. Nonetheless, it still wouldn't stop me from taking part in the course.”
Hi there Anonymous! Thank you so much for your constructive feedback. We're very sorry to hear about this. The operations team is aware, and we'll be looking into why you received multiple calls from team members, and what we can do to ensure no future learner has the same issue. Thank you again, and we wish you all the very best! :)
“Was a weeklong course about employability within the civil service. Overall the course was well done, very professional tutor who took his time and patience with all members of the course. However, a lot of the tasks took an excessive amount of time, for example, one the first day we spent 2 hours finding 2 suitable jobs on the civil service website. I completed this in 5 mins and spent the next hour or two waiting for my classmates to finish. At the end of the day, i understand the tutor has to wait for everyone to finish but this is just an excessive amount of time for this task.”
“I came to the course with the intention of trying to understand how to create a *strong* civil service application to stand out from other applications. Sadly, the course was a lot of copy and paste. Understand it's a mixed crowd but some workshopping time to actually run through personal statements, behavioural submissions and CV feedback for the role selected was missing. A smaller group would aid this.”
“The training itself was exceptional: A higher level of job searching and applications, mixed with Assessment criteria I'd never seen before.
Unfortunately, the online group scenario I found distracting, while balancing different windows, typing input and simultaneously following instructions as I'm less able than most with IT skills.”
