What others are saying
“What drew me to Cidori?
The chance to go beyond just placing candidates. At Cidori, it’s about developing people, not just filling vacancies. It’s about building skills, confidence, and long-term career pathways.”
Stewart Jones
Senior Business Development Manager
“HRC are delighted to be working in partnership with Cidori. Construction is a priority sector for the UK economy, and we believe that this new partnership will help individuals move into a range of locally based, sustainable employment opportunities.“
Katrina Dougherty
Vice Principal Enterprise, and Innovation, Hertford Regional 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
“It’s been a great programme – I’ve learned so much! It has opened my eyes to things I’ve been able to bring into a new role following my recent promotion. I say to everyone – jump onto this programme and try it!”

“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.”

“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.”
