What others are saying

We have worked with Cidori for several years and have found their service impeccable; the team are very professional and lovely to deal with. We have developed a great partnership in training good quality Teaching Assistants and finding them suitable employment once they have completed their course.

Jacqui Waters

Director, Cumbria Teaching Agency

“Before working with Cidori we faced the challenge of finding reliable workers – now we have an influx of new recruits with CSCS cards who are keen for work. Level of candidate preparation & motivation is very good. Cidori are very easy to work with and responsive. I would recommend sponsoring this to other employers – we have multiple clients in other areas who would benefit from this programme.”

Neil Williamson

Principal Consultant – Sphere Solutions

“After a lot of hard work, I went into my apprenticeship end point assessment and came away with a distinction. With the confidence and new skills gained from achieving this, I decided to apply for a front line leader role at Pirelli and was successful. I believe part of that success was down to the Lean Manufacturing programme.”

Jordan Irving

“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

Cidori go the extra mile, inviting us to careers/jobs events which has been a great help in finding new staff for our agency. Cidori are as passionate as we are about education and ultimately getting people back into work; while providing much needed support to the education system as a whole.

“This course gave me the skills and knowledge to prove I’m the right candidate for this position – it helps me with everyday life and decision making. I use the techniques I’ve learned to solve problems on my line. Thanks to the course, I am managing people in a way that works best for the team, using their skills and abilities. I feel like I’m treated more seriously now that I can support my points more professionally. I am really pleased I made this decision to sign up for the apprenticeship.”
