What others are saying
“Before the apprenticeship I felt I was “not good enough” to progress – however, earning a distinction has boosted my self-confidence…”

“Our experience of working with construction skills candidates from the team at Cidori is amazing! They register a higher calibre of candidate, more motivated and better prepared for the construction workplace. For our team it is a genuine pleasure to work with Cidori and we look forward to supporting many more of their candidates as part of our continued collaboration.”

“Jonathan was a pleasure to teach – enthusiastic & eager to learn. His commitment
was evident across classroom activities and all course work and targets were met. I am
confident that Jonathan’s skills and abilities would be an asset to any organisation and
delighted he has secured a job.”

“What we do at Cidori works – yes we’re a business and there’s a financial angle to our existence of course, but seeing lives both externally & internally change for the better is hugely satisfying – I will be forever grateful for the opportunity and personal growth that has come from working within Cidori and the wider ESHL Group.”
Andrea Ridgely
Group Finance & HR Director
“I would definitely recommend the course to others! This course was amazing, I’ve learned so much and become so much more confident in the subject area. It fitted perfectly around school drop off and pick up times which has also been great as a mum.”

“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.”
