What others are saying
“…we wanted a programme that will develop our ability to improve change management”
Nik Waldock
Manufacturing Training Coordinator – Altro
Lean Manufacturing Apprenticeship
“I’m so glad I took the leap. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone considering a TA role – right now, I’m working as a supply TA, supporting a young boy with cerebral palsy until the summer break. It’s incredibly rewarding, and I’m really starting to settle into the role. It feels good to be doing something meaningful and to see the difference I can make each day.”
Harry Daly
Teaching Assistant Course
Barnet Southgate College
“Working with Cidori has been a very positive experience. They keep in regular contact regarding CSCS courses and provide clear updates on learner numbers. Communication and support is excellent – since working with Cidori, we’ve seen a strong and consistent candidate base, and the overall service provided has been of a very high standard. Would recommend sponsoring this programme to other employers.”
Elle Webber
Resourcing Consultant – Daniel Owen
“It was incredibly challenging and pushed me. I had a great tutor and have successfully passed the course. It is a great resource and learning hub, and I have no regrets.”
Ian Gavin
Teaching Assistant Course – Runshaw College
“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!”
Mark Garrett
Tutor – Barnet Southgate College
“From a tutor’s perspective MLP has really freed up our time to focus on interaction with learners and improve teaching and learning”
