What others are saying
“Helping people who need employment to understand the opportunities available to them and achieve new qualifications is massively satisfying. Innovating and improving the customer service experience for prospective learners, employers, college partners and DWP colleagues is a fantastic platform to maximise networking skills with a regular feeling of achievement in the workplace!”
Paul Woolley
Business Development Manager
“I pursued the Lean Manufacturing apprenticeship to deepen my understanding of how to improve my department and contribute to the overall success of the business. Since completing the apprenticeship, I’ve achieved two promotions: transitioning to Deputy Team Leader of the Fabrication Department and eventually becoming the Fabrication Lead, where I oversee the day-to-day department operations. I would highly recommend this apprenticeship to anyone looking to expand their knowledge and drive improvements in manufacturing.”
Dan Thompson
Fabrication Lead

“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
“I was chatting with our employment advisers and just wanted to feed back to you what the participants are saying. Everyone we have referred to you that has completed the teaching assistant course, comes into the office, and tells their EA’s that the course was amazing, and they come in so excited and motivated. So please let the Cidori team know that they are doing a fantastic job, and we will of course keep referring to you!”
Kim Rose
NCS Leader, People Plus
“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
“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.”
