“Why did I choose work at Cidori? The Cidori ethos – the quiet and fantastic work they do to support employers, delivery partners and the people looking for opportunities.“
Kate O’Callaghan
Commercial Director
“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…”

“My college tutor Santa was amazing – I’d been to sixth form & college but had never received support like this – help with mock interview, updating CV and developing transferable skills. This led me to getting a job at my first interview at a local SEND school. I would definitely recommend this course to others – you genuinely get the support you need to get back into work and my experience proves it!”
Louisa Coltman
Teaching Assistant Course – Barnet Southgate College
“Lean principles lead to elimination of waste & optimisation of processes. Upskilling has streamlined operations, reduced downtime & improved overall efficiencies. Techniques learned help us identify & get rid of needless expenditure, so reductions in inventory, shorter lead times and lower production costs all flow from this. Upskilling equips our team to spot & fix defects early in the process – leading to higher quality outputs & happier customers.”
Pirelli
Lean Manufacturing Apprenticeships
“I would recommend this course to others – especially those who are new to construction– there is a lot of information provided and it worked well online. I found note taking was crucial but enjoyed this aspect of the course and really appreciated the tutor’s willingness to remain behind class when I needed some extra support.”
