I heard through friends and colleagues that done courses through CMIT and they speak very positively and gained qualifications. My course is going brilliant, very happy to have chosen CMIT for my course as there were many options but this one stood out the most.

It is a great course to do at your own pace. I had 4 admissions to Resus in A&E this year due to Brittle Asthma attacks and I was still able to complete this course.

All great.

The course was very well structured and the support from my tutor was excellent. I feel I learned a lot and gained confidence to work in the Early Learning and Care sector.

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.

My friend recommended CMIT for the course because it’s online, didactic, has a good cost compared to other college , and offers ample time to study. And she was right, I agree.

I liked how modules were accessible in my own time and I didnt have to wait until a certain date to access course material. This ensures I can proceed on my own timeline. Of all the online colleges that I enquired with, most did not offer this so that is why I chose CMIT. When I contacted CMIT about the course they were very fast and clear at responding.

Very accessible and helpful.

I truly enjoyed this course and learned a lot, and hope to join the field when I receive certification

I loved it and I would definitely recommend

I am really enjoying the course so far, I’m finding it very interesting. Love that as well as course material there is a world of information and studies available online, to explore and deepen my understanding. I love the variety of tasks, observations and practical elements included as they make learning more engaging.

The course is very easy to understand. The reading is clear and simple, which makes learning much easier. Another positive point is that you can study at your own pace, which is great since not everyone has a lot of free time. After a long day at work, with the rush of adult life, marriage, or children, this flexibility makes all the difference. It’s a course that truly adapts to each person’s needs, regardless of age.

Brilliant course, Highly recommend.
