What others are saying
“I was chatting with our employment advisers and just wanted to feed back to you what the participants are saying. Everyone we have referred to you that has completed the teaching assistant course, comes into the office, and tells their EA’s that the course was amazing, and they come in so excited and motivated. So please let the Cidori team know that they are doing a fantastic job, and we will of course keep referring to you!”
Kim Rose
NCS Leader, People Plus
“I wouldn’t be where I am now if it wasn’t for the course…I was looking for TA roles and kept being told it would be a few years…”

Teaching Assistant Course
“My Learning Portal has so many advantages: Snapshot of group progress, learner sees all their work in one place & progress via own dashboard, workbooks links sent to group in one click and standardised workbooks & improvement suggestions easily facilitated. It means the tutor has immediate access to learner work and the efficiencies give tutor time to focus on learner support & formative/summative assessment, rather than administration. Many learners remark on improvement in their own IT skills. MLP has transformed our delivery and the learner experience, taking it to the next level!”

“Morgan Sindall Construction places huge value on partnerships that help create meaningful pathways into our industry. Working with CIDORI has been a standout example of this. Their training programmes, particularly the CSCS card provision, have been instrumental in preparing individuals for real site work and allows us the opportunity to provide local opportunities to local people. CIDORI’s, people-centred approach aligns perfectly with our commitment to social value and inclusive recruitment.”
Norma Odain-Hines
Senior Social Value Manager, Morgan Sindall Construction
“I enjoyed being able to listen to discussions within the group throughout the course. I would recommend this course to anyone wishing to gain a CSCS card as it was laid out clear. This course helped me improve my knowledge of Health and safety rules and regulations, and a better general knowledge of construction.”

“Through this apprenticeship, I hope to drive meaningful improvements in how we manage NPD and hopefully encourage other women to embrace opportunities for learning and progressing in industry.”
