I chose to study with College of Management and IT (CMIT) because it offers a strong balance of academic quality, practical relevance, and recognised accreditation within Ireland.

CMIT’s programmes are QQI-validated, which was essential for me, as I wanted a qualification that is fully recognised and aligned with Irish regulatory and professional standards. The course content is clearly structured, outcomes-focused, and directly applicable to real workplace settings—particularly important in areas such as Early Learning and Care and professional practice. Another decisive factor was flexibility. CMIT’s blended and online learning model allows me to study while working, which supports consistency and progression without compromising professional responsibilities. I also value the clear guidance provided for assessments, referencing, and reflective practice, as this supports academic development and confidence. Finally, CMIT’s emphasis on professional standards, reflective learning, and employability aligns closely with my long-term career goals in Ireland.

or the last couple of years I’ve been working as an after school assistant. I have a great interest for child development and I find it fascinating how the young mind works. I really enjoy making and planning activities for the afterschools and my manager suggested that I would be brilliant working in ecce as I always include tuff trays and natural objects in my activites and she found that my personailty would be great for young children as Im kind and considerate. Upon research and a lot of thought, I decided to start my level 5. i was advised by a lot of people that cmit was a brilliant college, and that the tutors are really quick and efficient at helping. During my entire course I only needed assistance from the tutor once, as the course itself provided me with all of the information I needed. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to start a career in a preschool setting. my placement has taught me so much and I really look forward to taking my new found skills and starting my career in early childhood.
