What others are saying
“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!”

NCS Leader, People Plus
“Morgan Sindall Construction places huge value on partnerships that help create meaningful pathways into our industry. Working with CIDORI has been a standout example of this. Their training programmes, particularly the CSCS card provision, have been instrumental in preparing individuals for real site work and allows us the opportunity to provide local opportunities to local people. CIDORI’s, people-centred approach aligns perfectly with our commitment to social value and inclusive recruitment.”
