What others are saying
“Course was entertaining and knowledgeable but most importantly after finishing I’ve secured a job in a short while.”
Denis Bogonos
Construction Skills Course – Barnet Southgate College
“Our experience of working with construction skills candidates from the team at Cidori is amazing! They register a higher calibre of candidate, more motivated and better prepared for the construction workplace. For our team it is a genuine pleasure to work with Cidori and we look forward to supporting many more of their candidates as part of our continued collaboration.”
Rebecca Rickwood
Programme Director – Gement
“I have learned so many new skills through this course, but most importantly it gave me the confidence to believe in myself and recognise the value of the skills I already had. I never thought I would be able to achieve something like this because I didn’t have any qualifications, but within three months of completing the course I secured a Teaching Assistant role. I am now back in work, have a career I enjoy, and a better routine and future for both me and my son. It really is one of the best things I have ever done.”
Amie Tre Vett

The chance to go beyond just placing candidates. At Cidori, it’s about developing people, not just filling vacancies. It’s about building skills, confidence, and long-term career pathways.”
