What others are saying

“It was incredibly challenging and pushed me. I had a great tutor and have successfully passed the course. It is a great resource and learning hub, and I have no regrets.”

Ian Gavin

Teaching Assistant Course – Runshaw College

“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.”

“Colchester Institute’s partnership with Cidori forms an important part of our strategy in providing adults access to real and current career opportunities. The intensive, high quality and accessible programme of study, allied with highly effective employer engagement and support of candidates into work from Cidori enables adults to learn all they need to know to secure and enter meaningful employment within the teaching support sector.”

“This course was very helpful and the way it was explained made it all the easier – I would highly recommend this course.” (Google Review: 5 Stars October 2026)

Mark Hughes

Construction Skills Course

Barnet Southgate College

“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 college tutor Santa was amazing – I’d been to sixth form & college but had never received support like this – help with mock interview, updating CV and developing transferable skills. This led me to getting a job at my first interview at a local SEND school. I would definitely recommend this course to others – you genuinely get the support you need to get back into work and my experience proves it!”
