The course opened up my mind on certain things that I have not known before now especially the employment status Acts and Equal status Acts.
I have had a positive experience so far with the course. The content is interesting and relevant to my career goals in social care. The learning experience has helped me gain more knowledge and skills and the assessments help me think critically and applied what I have learned. I kinda like the way the resources are easy to access making the study very convenient.
Very interesting course with good back up from my tutor Adele Grazi and very prompt responses
The course has been informative and very eye opening for me in a lot of ways as an immigrant who is new in Ireland. It is helping me to understand why some things are done the ways are done and also for me to integrate well in the society.
Also, the assistance I have gotten from the front desk officers/phone receptionists has been superb. The response of my tutor to my first assessment was so encouraging and it fueled me up.
The course is well put together and very user friendly.

I was referred by a student that had applied and completed his course and said how helpful and useful CMIT is and for me studying at home and looking after my kids, I find it amazing that I can be a stay home Dad and study at the same time.
A great start to getting back into the work force.
