“The course was very informative, and I found several aspects particularly useful. The tutor delivered the content clearly and effectively, making the sessions engaging and easy to follow. The information has already proven very valuable in my current job search journey.
Before attending the course, I did not have a clear understanding of the full application process. I learned the importance of tailoring a CV to each role, carefully scanning job descriptions, and aligning my experience with the specific skills and requirements outlined. The concept of creating a targeted CV has made a significant difference in how I approach applications.
I am especially interested in applying for civil service roles, and previously I felt unsure about their specific recruitment process. The guidance provided during the course has helped clarify this and given me more confidence moving forward.
One area that could be improved is participant interaction. Although there were several people on the course, there was limited opportunity to learn about others’ experiences or backgrounds. More room for discussion and conversation would have allowed us to learn from each other’s journeys and perspectives, which I believe would have added further value to the experience.
Overall, the course has made a meaningful impact on my approach to job applications and has helped me feel more prepared and focused.”

Thank you for your review Sebastian! While the course is very focused on Civil Service Employability - including hearing direct insight from a current Civil Servant - we do place emphasis on general employability, including job search and application skills, CV writing skills, and digital skills. We hope you found some use from the course, and wish you all the best during the next stages of your career journey! 😊
“It is an excellent course for someone like me who wants to change my career.
The only wish I have is if the course was face-to- face instead of sitting in one place in front of the computer for a week. The tutor Trina is knowledgeable and very supportive and she did give us the required breaks.”
