What others are saying
“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.”

“Working with Nicola at Cidori has been a real pleasure. She consistently refers us well-prepared candidates who have completed their Level 2 TA course and are eager to begin their careers. Nicola is always quick to respond to any queries and shows genuine care and support for the candidates she works with. Her professionalism and commitment make the whole process smooth and reliable and we really value the partnership.”
Emma Wright
Recruitment Consultant – Milestone Education
“What has been achieved through the Lean Manufacturing apprenticeship reflects not only the drive and skills of our team members, but also the benefits available when we engage in lean and waste elimination projects. I am very excited as we continue to work with the team to foster a culture of waste elimination and efficiency. Thank you to everyone involved.”
Paul Hankin
Head of Manufacturing – Altro
“Cidori is a company of opportunity, not only for the adult learners we support, but in-house too. I had worked in my previous role for over ten years and never imagined I’d be able to do the work I am doing now. Cidori really does support progression and celebrates initiative!”
Nicola Arnold
Business Development Manager
“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
“Runshaw College has been working successfully in partnership with Cidori since early 2023. We have found Cidori to be a truly ‘wrap around’ support service – driving excellent candidate referrals and IAG for our adult skills delivery and positive destinations for our learners. As an organisation they are always responsive to our requests with a high level of professionalism.
Our partnership brings an open and transparent working relationship, and as a new academic year gets underway Runshaw College looks forward to seeing continued positive outcomes in the career paths of our students.”
Mark Heaton
Head of Adult Skills – Runshaw College
