What others are saying
“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
“I decided to start the apprenticeship as I wanted to gain a qualification that would directly benefit my current role and my future career. I am always trying to find better ways of working, for myself and the teams that I manage, and this course will help to put some structure around that process, therefore making it more efficient.”

Level 4 Improvement Practitioner Apprenticeship – Altro
“This course was very helpful and the way it was explained made it all the easier – I would highly recommend this course.” (Google Review: 5 Stars October 2026)
Mark Hughes
Construction Skills Course
Barnet Southgate College
“I joined Cidori for the opportunity to be part of a growing organisation where I can make a real impact. It gives me the chance to build relationships, shape opportunities with employers, and contribute to something that’s still evolving, which was really important to me.”
Matt Drury
Business Development Manager
Working with Cidori is transparent and beneficial. Level of preparation & motivation of their course candidates when it comes to securing employment is very good. I would recommend sponsoring this programme to other employers. 5 stars!
Howard Lynch
Recruitment Consultant: Thrive Education
“I would recommend the course because it goes far beyond just preparing someone to be a Teaching Assistant but immerses you into UK work culture and introduces British values. I’ve now been accepted into university for PGCE training, and I’m really excited to start this new chapter. Thank you again for your support – it means a lot to me!”
