“It was really useful to learn how to set out your CV and how to structure your Cover letter.
Interview techniques and practice was something worth while.
Jonathan Bestwick was my tutor, he was great and explained each stage well.”
“Strive Training's Civil Service course provided a lot of information that is useful to take for future job searching and job applications in the Civil Service.”
“Overall, it's a very good course. In addition to the wealth of information, resources, and reinforcement, the main strengths of this course are [1] its focus on continuous real-life hands-on application of the concepts taught, and [2] its comprehensiveness, taking the student through the entire job-finding process from beginning to end. Also, copies of all information are emailed to participants, and one gets a non-terminating online portfolio of the course-exercises.”

“Useful course as a highlghter for Civil Service opportunities, covering process and application scenarios. A good mix of practical content with interactive sessions and on-line elements. The Employability portal is very useful for composing CV's & Cover letters and is available after the course as well which is great feature! For Employability- on the job search section it would be good to add an industry or specialty filter to allow more accurate job searching?”

“Have learnt a lot did find the first day very daunting What would have been helpful is if all the computers had been checked that they were connected and charged This would have made the day a little less stressful Mercy had the patience of a saint Thanks”

“I am trying to improve my skills in something that will help my working career and allow me to grow into a bigger role. I did not realise at first that this course was mainly focused on CV writing, which led to a lack of commitment because I did not fully understand its value at the time. I now recognise that these skills can be useful, especially for future job applications, and I wish I had understood this earlier. I believe choosing a course that feels more productive and better aligned with my goals would help me engage more fully.”
