“The course is very condensed and I really don't know how we got through all the units - there's far too much content to get through in only 10 days -but thankfully the tutor, Antonia Kyriacou, went above and beyond to get us through it. Antonia included her own manual in the research which really helped us get through the course and I know for a fact she stayed up most nights to mark our work - that woman deserves a medal!! Antonia is a marvellous tutor and helped everyone at all times - she's amazing - thank you Antonia!!”
“In my opinion, the course helped me to increase my organisational skills, communicational skills. I had an opportunity to try myself in role plays, to create business documents. It was really a great experience to talk to new people and to do these groups activities.
I have learnt about the ground rules in the group, in the company. I also have learnt how to produce different types of business documents, how to make calls effectively, how to greet visitors friendly. I have learnt about formal and informal communication, protection of the confident information, different types of phone systems.
I can take away to use with me knowledge of creating documents and making/receiving calls.
Thank you for all the information and your support.”
“I am very happy with what you guyz are doing as things work out for people who have kids. Very kind and friendly teacher, overall very happy with everything.”
“Amazing course delivered by Jonathan Bestwick ,in a very professional and easy to understand way with lots of great tips on employment. Will strongly reccomend to anyone interested to learn the right way how to apply professionally for a position.”
“I have really enjoyed doint this course, Johnahan Bestwick, out tutor was excellent, made me feel relaxed and apprciated that we were all individual peopke with indicvidual goals and expectations of the course.”
“I have learnt the competencies and how to tailor my personal statement depending on the grades within the civil service. I also understood how the cover letter is different from the statement of competencies and the difference between the skills and experience that need to be demonstrated. I practiced the STAR method in writing and also in interview feedback. I also understood how I should display examples of understanding civil service values throughout the responses in the application and interview process. Thank you for including me in this course. The course trainer was excellent and kept us all very involved.”
“Antonia Kyriacou surpassed all my expectations of a tutor via strive. Her passion and knowledge literally inspired myself and all the others on the course to be their best, and DO their best day in and day out.
Her positivity was radiant and infectious and she took the time to support us all as a group and individually.
She took the time to really break down and go over some difficult questions on the course - and that meant taking everyones learning speed and capacity into account. She was able to convery complex information in simple easy to understand and most importantly FUN format. She kept the whole class engaged and enthusiastic.
I am very happy I joined the course and I have achieved new knowledge and confidence due to Antonias teaching.
I would recommend this course with Antonia to any and everyone who wanted to create their own business start as they would be in the best and most engaging supportive hands.
A FIVE STAR COURSE, TUTOR AND EXPERIENCE.

“Excellent course. It really helped me develop my narrative around my skills and experience. Using the techniques learnt on the course I have seen my application to interview ration increase significantly.”
“The training was very good and the trainer had lots of knowledge.
The trainer gave us good advice and guidance regarding how to apply to Civil Service roles and how to handle the recruitment process.”
“Strive Training provides a wealth of information as well as a very good tutor who will guide you through Job Application processes and skills building required for Civil Service employment. The course can be fast-paced at times, though time is given to catch up.”
“This course exceeded my expectations. It steadily went through all aspects of finding and applying for a civil service job. The trainer - Trina Brady - was infinitely patient, positive and kind throughout the course. Maria's feedback, alongside Trina's was very helpful.”
“The course was very inclusive and definitely made everyone feel at ease from the beginning. Trina was absolutely lovely and made everyone feel so welcome and confident with her abundance of patience and amazing teaching.”
