What others are saying
“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
“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
We have worked with Cidori for several years and have found their service impeccable; the team are very professional and lovely to deal with. We have developed a great partnership in training good quality Teaching Assistants and finding them suitable employment once they have completed their course.
Jacqui Waters
Director, Cumbria Teaching Agency
“Cidori is a place where you can contribute, be heard, and make a difference through hard work. I get great satisfaction from helping people with opportunities, building confidence and self-belief beyond their school years.”
Andrea Duffin
Employment Operations Manager
“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 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!”
