“The tutors were really good – I felt that they tried hard to make the topics engaging. I liked that with the group it felt we were in it together, along with those doing the teaching.”

“What we do at Cidori works – yes we’re a business and there’s a financial angle to our existence of course, but seeing lives both externally & internally change for the better is hugely satisfying – I will be forever grateful for the opportunity and personal growth that has come from working within Cidori and the wider ESHL Group.”

“Cidori are clearly an end-to-end provider of support from the desperation of unemployment to the security of a job. It is a shame that their diligence could not be instilled in the mainstream unemployment infrastructure – they are how employment help should be…”

“Working with the Restart Scheme, we have sent quite a few referrals to Cidori; and our participants who follow through and complete the course give very positive feedback about content and delivery, so we’re really keen to continue to refer people for the course.”

Andrew Russell

NCS Careers Advisor – People Plus

“I enjoyed learning practical leadership tools that I could apply in my role. This made the learning experience both enjoyable and impactful, giving me greater confidence and clarity in how I lead. I’m now making more objective choices, and placing greater emphasis on operating within our organisation’s values, making sure my actions, communication, and leadership style reflect the standards and expectations our company promotes.”
