A very interesting course which I need on my C.V, I am after working for the past thirty years and thought I would find it difficult to get back into studying but CMIT have made it an easy transition. Tutor support has been great so far and I have been lucky that they understand that I am a long time out of the education system and it can be daunting but my Tutors are so understanding.

I looked at CMIT primarily as I needed a self directed course. Due to the distance between my home and office and having a young family, attending a night course was not realistic. CMITs set up is excellent with everything you need.
