What others are saying
“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
“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.”
Zeeshan Khan
Team Leader – Lear Redditch
Leadership Apprenticeship
“We have been working successfully with Cidori for over a year, and this productive collaboration has consistently resulted in high-quality, well-motivated candidates being referred to us after completing their Level 2 NCFE Teaching Assistant courses, delivered by one of Cidori’s college partners. Cidori provide outstanding support to these candidates, and together we are committed to securing not just jobs, but long-term career pathways in education support work.”
Scott Barker
Managing Director – Zest Education
“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
Teaching Assistant Course
Barnet Southgate College
“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…”
Jonathan Chalmers
Construction Skills Course – Barnet Southgate College
“I enjoyed the videos giving me a better understanding on the topic I was studying. I would definitely recommend others to apply and learn because its not difficult to understand and if you need help, the help is there.”
