I chose to study with CMIT because of its strong reputation for delivering quality education and training. CMIT offers nationally recognised qualifications, experienced trainers, and practical, industry-relevant learning that supports real workplace skills. The flexible study options and supportive learning environment also made CMIT the right choice for me to achieve my career goals.
I really enjoyed it. There was a lot of work to do but was enjoyable
1. Integration of Business and Clinical Knowledge
The course effectively bridges the gap between general administrative skills and the specialised demands of the healthcare sector. You have demonstrated how a Level 6 Business qualification can be applied within clinical environments, particularly in managing Practice Management Systems and recognising the financial and legal significance of Data Protection.
2. Development of Clinical Accuracy
A core theme of the programme is the “universal language” of medicine. Through the medical word‑breakdown tasks, you have learned that accuracy is not merely an administrative expectation but a critical component of patient safety. Recognising how small errors—such as confusing prefixes like hyper- and hypo-—can lead to serious clinical consequences is one of the most important insights gained.
3. Understanding Regulatory Compliance
The course provides a comprehensive overview of the Irish regulatory framework. You have identified the key legislation governing Health and Safety (the 2005 Act) and Data Protection (GDPR and the 2018 Act). This foundation equips you with the “Specialist Knowledge” required for public‑sector roles, including positions within the HSE or LMETB.
4. Practical Administrative Proficiency
Tasks 3 and 6 emphasise the essential tools used in modern medical administration. By engaging with Electronic Health Records, Socrates, and Healthlink, you have shown that the course prepares learners for digital‑first healthcare environments rather than relying solely on traditional paper‑based systems.
5. Tutor Feedback and Professional Growth
The feedback provided by Gary Kelly highlights the importance of academic discipline, particularly in accurate referencing and the precise use of medical suffixes. This ongoing feedback loop has been central to your development, helping you progress from general understanding to the high level of professional detail expected for a Distinction‑level performance.
Upon research, I chose to study with CMIT due to the flexibility with learning options and positive reviews from previous graduates. While th course is self paced, there’s also the continued support of having a personal tutor who provides constructive feedback during the course. Lots of helpful feedback and sufficient timeframe to complete the course modules.
Really satisfied with the course. The content is very thorough and has a lot of helpful information, including additional resources. Multiple learning styles are catered for through text, video and visual examples which makes the course very accessible to lots of people.

I am learning a lot of new information from the course and would highly recommend it to people I know!
