“A very informative course regarding finding a job. To me personally I found it roo rush. I think it could be stretched to 2wks, to allow those of us who are not as quick on our computer skills. All in all clearly presented, lots of information to help you secure a job. I really enjoyed the course”

“The course and instuctor was excellent, exactly what I was hoping to learn and more than met my expectations. The only reason I didn't score excellent was the enrolment process was inconsistent and a lot of the presentation materials came through in the morning. Possibly would be more useful at the end of the day as a potential pre-read/familiarity. Also may I suggest a basic IT skills test beforehand as some skills are required beyond what I would consider basic. This would allow students to familiarise themselves or seek help & support before the day of the course?”

“The course was good and I learnt a lot about the recruitment process gaining confidence. However, some of the tasks were basic, and I felt the time could have been better on tailored 1:1 feedback. For example, the practice interview, I didnt get told what the assessor would have scored me nor what i needed to do more to get a higher score. The teacher was stretched to get through the workload of 20 participants and at times it felt a little rushed getting though some of the interesting content.”
Many thanks for your overall positive review, and we also appreciate your honest feedback on what could be improved! š We wish you the best of luck with the next steps in your career! šš
“Training was quite nice. It helped to learn and improve new skills. Information and teaching were accessible and clear enough to get better. Many thanks for your support.”
“I was very impressed with the quality of the teaching and support for the students. Tutor(s) were both very knowledgeable & passionate about their fields. The classes are engaging and lively! Employability support is probably the best I have seen so far! The only reasons that it didnt make 5 stars is that the onboarding process could be improved, system is a little clunking and could do with streamlining and capacity could be increased in their employability team for more timely responses, when you do eventually get through the quality is very high. Thanks all”

“The course was managed well and the scheduel to do are tasks felt good. However the online aspect of the course was challenging in that there was alot of stop and starting happening with people having technical issues or noisy backgrounds.”

“The Strive training was an enjoyable experience. I was able to engage with my tasks effectively and gain new perspectives on old tasks, as well as inventive ways to complete them.”
“Jonathan was a helpful and engaging instructor.
I would have wanted ultimately more content on how to think like a civil servant during the selection process. Star method and civil service values heavily emphasised and less stuff like Health and Safety at work and very basic IT etc.”
Thank you Angelo! š We appreciate your positive review, and your honest feedback about the balance of course content. We're wishing you all the best in your applications and interviews. Do keep in touch and let us know how you get on! š
“Strive trainig are an amazing company that help people get qualifications. They have good connextions with agencies that can offer further help and support to get into a job. I would reccommend them to a friend that i feel can use their service in hopes it can help them get some qualifications and hopefully a job.”
“The course provided me with really useful knowledge and experience, especially over a short time, and the tutor was clear and helpful.
My only gripe is Iām not hugely pleased about my CV feedback being AI generated, or at least summarised, at times.”
