“Very good course the tutor was so helpful with everything she taught us. We had lots of 1-1 if you needed them as there was also another tutor who was also amazing. Would definitely recommend this course.”
“I do not recommend the course.
It is absolutely a complete waste of time.
1. You do not get any real feedback. Whatever you write, it is brilliant.
2. You need to wait for other members. It is fine but... You may wait for them for several hours. And while you are waiting you can't go even to the toilet. Because "all go on a break together". You need to sit and stare at the monitor.
The most important.
If you are prof, you will not get any new information or any help. Just spend your time sending your CVs, doing yoga or even watching TV.
If you are not prof.. You have just graduated or you have a gap in your employment... They will put a huge amount of useless info into your head and that is all. You will get more effect if you just google - how can you find job?”

We also want to add, that there is a scenario where you already have a well thought-out, highly developed CV. If this is the case with you, unfortunately you should never have been recommended to join this course. This course caters for people who have a far less developed CV (if they have one at all).
96% of our learners would recommend this course because it gives the CV, skills and confidence that they need to move forward.
“The Civil Service Employability training was very informative, the tutor was so supportive and the teaching was excellent! I would recommend this course to anyone who looking for a confidence boost in writing their CV, application, cover letter and tips for applying for Civil Service jobs.”
“The course, delivery and content have all been very informative. I learned loads and the practical application of that information way great. The trainer was easy to talk to and great at imparting the info in a way that kept my attention so I enjoyed my time in his company.”
“I thought the course content was fine and the detail for some of the course was good. However, I was a little disappointed that the instructions for the tasks weren't more clear and most should have some sort of example so a learner knows they're on the right track. I also thought more visual prompts would have been effective to signpost the tasks because there were a lot of EAL learners.
Lastly, I was not pleased with I asked Sam for help with a document and I was given a reprimand, instead of assistance. Not appropriate for educated adults.”
Hi there Anonymous learner,

“I had really nice experience, I needed more confidence and now after this course, I feel much more confident than before, Steve was an excellent tutor, and I gained new skills and learned a lot from Steve. I will recommend this course to all of my friends if they need to understand better how all these things work to visit your website and register”
“The course was not as I had expected and was not all about the civil service application process. however, it was still beneficial and I learnt some new skills.”
“An amazing course, highly recommend! Steve was an amazing trainer and very helpful. Learnt so much including about myself and more confidence gained! Thank you!”
“My experience with Strive Training was amazing, I learnt a lot about being ready for an interview, especially for a civil service interview. My tutor Steve was awesome, he was also ready and available to answer questions. I have left the training with confidence, being able to join an environment where everyone is in the same position unemployed, but wanting to better themselves was very encouraging. I would recommend this course, to anyone, you don't have to desire to work as a civil servant, but the skills you will learn can help you work in any sector.”
“I recently took an employability course and I have to say that it was a fantastic learning experience. The instructor was knowledgeable and engaging, and the course material was well-organized and easy to follow.
One of the things I appreciated most about the course was the variety of resources provided. In addition to the lectures, there were hands-on exercises and real-life case studies to work on, which helped to reinforce the concepts that were being taught.
Overall, I highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning more about employability. It's a great way to gain a solid foundation in the field and start building your skills.”
“Very good course - Civil Service Employability. Received a lot of good insight on how to successfully apply for any job and civil service jobs in particular. Received very prompt communication regarding enrolment and starting the course.
I appreciated the telephone call to let me know that I was all set and what to expect in the time leading up to the course and a reminder of the date and time the course will begin. I went in feeling confident about what I was doing and how the training would go. On the call, I had the opportunity to ask any questions or get help with any issues that I was having.
Good support and information were provided by our trainer, Trina. She made us feel comfortable which made it easier to share and participate.”
“I found the course very helpful and interesting. I feel a bit more confident now when applying for jobs and an insight into different areas of the Civil Service.
I just wanted to say a big thank you to Trina who was our tutor throughout the course. She was very lovely, supportive and helpful.
Thank you again!”
