“I'm glad I had the opportunity to do this course, The tutor was great, and the delivery of the course from start to finish was superb. The knowledge I gained is invaluable and I want to say thank you to Strive training.”
“My tutor Steve was amazing, this course has boosted my confidence a lot as I have struggled when applying for jobs. I am confident in the new year I will be able to deliver the good news that I have secured a job with the Civil Service.”
“I had a great experience with Strive Training's Employability Course.
The context was insightful, and Steve Carr, our teacher played a pivotal role with his expertise teaching style, making the learning process both enjoyable and enriching.”
“As a completely new learning format it took me a little while to get comfortable with it. The group is very large, would have appreciated a short one-one (2-3 mins) with the trainer at the end of each day. Information is concise and extremely well presented, trainer willing to engage with all in the group.”
“The CV/cover letter writing techniques and interview practice provided on this course were excellent and I recommend for anyone seeking to upgrade their knowledge or ability.”
“My tutor was exceptionally helpful, patient, and effective in facilitating our understanding of the lessons. The pace of the instruction was very suitable for our learning.”
“Thank you Jonathan for being patient with everyone and teaching us how to write quality CVs and cover letters. I now feel more confident to go for positions in the Civil Service.”
“I was thinking the day before the end of the course that if Steve Carr wasn't a 10 out of 10 what would be the difference? And I couldn't think of anything. The course materials are really fabulous. It was new to me to do an entire week-long conference call via Zoom and that was useful in itself in terms of desensitizing myself to any concerns I might have had about the use of the digital format. The material specifically for applying to civil service jobs was extremely useful. All in all it was brilliant and I enjoyed it.”
“I think the course overall is great. Especially, if you are, lacking in:
1. how to compose (and have) an effective CV that you are proud of.
2. How to approach and answer STAR-based application questions.
3. How to handle an interview.
My only criticism is the last day of the course, Risk Assessment, does not compliment the rest of the course. Most employers will go over this once you secured a role, this isn't something, I feel will help you in gaining employment.”
“My Strive course in Business Admin came four months into my job search. I am trying to change sector aged 50+. I'd almost given up hope. The course was so much more than just an online course. I've done Open University online and that was quite an isolating experience. Not so with Strive, I felt like my Tutor cared about us students. She was very nurturing, and interesting. She brought the modules to life for us. I learned a lot of valuable information and I began to feel a bit more confident again. The group was a great bunch and it was good that to be with people who were all job-seeking like me. It now feels like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I can't recommend Strive enough.”
“I can't stress enough, how useful this course has been. I have a clear idea now how the application process for the civil service works and what is expected of the applicant. The process was broken down into manageable chunks and useful information was provided at every stage. I can now use this independently for any applications, civil service or not. It will also be useful for everyday life.”
“The course was an eye opener into the real world of civil service. Trina, my tutor, has led by example and constantly demonstrated a very positive attitude and strong work ethic throughout. A gifted Tutor. Thank you”
