What others are saying
“I am incredibly impressed by the impact of our Lean Manufacturing Operative (LMO) apprenticeship programme – seen in the exceptional projects presented by our team members. Their commitment to move out of comfort zones and learn key lean principles, not only translates into immediate process improvements and cost savings, but also positions us strongly for sustained continuous improvements in manufacturing.”
Paul Hankin
Head of Manufacturing, Altro

“So many moments where I have felt my work at Cidori really makes a difference to someone – when people are genuinely thanking me and are so grateful and happy for the opportunity, support or time that I have been able to give them.“
Corinne Edwards
Employment Operations Manager
“In the delivery of our adult skills budget, Kendal College works in partnership with Cidori. For more than 3 years we have enjoyed a productive collaboration as we help candidates into sustainable employment, providing them with the training, skills, and self-confidence they need. We believe that our teaching and learning delivery, together with Cidori’s employer engagement and support of candidates into work represents a powerful combination that enables us not only to deliver our ASF budget effectively but make a real difference to the lives of our learners – many of whom we would never reach ourselves.”
Richard Evans
Vice Principal
Kendal College
“Training led me to getting a job at a local SEND school – my first interview since the course ended!”

Teaching Assistant Course – Barnet Southgate College
“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.”

“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!”
