Igniting careers, transforming workplaces

“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.”

“I enjoyed the videos giving me a better understanding on the topic I was studying. I would definitely recommend others to apply and learn because its not difficult to understand and if you need help, the help is there.”

“I joined Cidori for the opportunity to be part of a growing organisation where I can make a real impact. It gives me the chance to build relationships, shape opportunities with employers, and contribute to something that’s still evolving, which was really important to me.”

“I definitely would recommend it to others and I enjoyed all aspects of the course.”

“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!”

“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.”
