What others are saying
“I enjoyed the structure of this course and the support received along the way. I would definitely recommend this course to others – it has great outcomes – so
many new skills and a qualification! This course has been amazing and has given me a reason to get out of bed in the mornings and have a productive day.”
Amelia Saxby-Lake
Barnet Southgate College
Teaching Assistant Course
“I applied for the Lean Manufacturing programme to excel in knowledge of the business and implement skills I’ve learned from the course across different areas of the factory. I’ve enjoyed communicating with other colleagues and learning about their standard working procedures and the struggles they face day to day. This programme has given me the confidence to apply for a Deputy Frontline Leader role within my department in which I would look to further help the company reduce waste and increase efficiency.”
Haydn Bryson
Pirelli – Carlisle
Lean Manufacturing Apprenticeship
“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.”
Zeeshan Khan
Team Leader – Lear Redditch
Leadership Apprenticeship
“Having spent many years across organisations of all sizes, Cidori stands apart. The belief and trust placed in me to drive change and embrace new challenges, whilst at the same time accommodating my work/life balance, has made it a place where I can truly thrive.”
David Murfitt
Head of Corporate Services
“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.”
Tom Pearson
Teaching Assistant Course Candidate
Barnet Southgate College
“After a lot of hard work, I went into my apprenticeship end point assessment and came away with a distinction. With the confidence and new skills gained from achieving this, I decided to apply for a front line leader role at Pirelli and was successful. I believe part of that success was down to the Lean Manufacturing programme.”
