What others are saying
“At Flexzo Teach we’re proud to sponsor Cidori and support their incredible work in helping aspiring educators start their careers.”
Georgia Scott
Solutions Specialist – Flexzo Teach
“The course is engaging, intensive and filled with valuable information. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to work in the education sector.“
Anastasiia Butenko
Teaching Assistant Course – Barnet Southgate College
“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 recommend the course because it goes far beyond just preparing someone to be a Teaching Assistant but immerses you into UK work culture and introduces British values. I’ve now been accepted into university for PGCE training, and I’m really excited to start this new chapter. Thank you again for your support – it means a lot to me!”
Tamrat Asnake
Candidate: Colchester Institute
Teaching Assistant Course
“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
“I absolutely would recommend this course – it was scary at first and I wondered if I would be ok with the written work but it not only gave me knowledge and understanding of what a Teaching Assistant does and what to expect in the role, it also showed me that I can do academic study and has improved my self esteem hugely.”
