It is very handy to be able to work at my own pace
I had an issue almost at the end of my course but I was glad that the staff help me to sort it out. I really appreciate that
It would be helpful to have more recorded lectures or the webinars available to watch for reference after attending them. For me this would have greatly helped with my assignments. I learn better when I hear information rather than reading it but I don’t find the read aloud tool helpful on word. My tutor was exceptional good her webinars were filled with so much information I learnt alot for her on those.
It was perfect.
Course was excellent and was able to get it finished in a timely, will definitely be completing my level 6 with cmit once my certification arrives. I will recommend this to work colleagues and peers

The course is very well detailed and easy to understand which in turn makes learning easy.
I really enjoyed the course overall and my placements. I enjoyed the assignments but coursework changed half way through and i had some assignments complete for submission . thankfully the college were helpful but do believe this should be the same brief and should not change like this as it was very worrying
I have already recommended a friend to research about starting a course with CMIT. They can see how I am managing my family life whilst completing my course content. I am really enjoying the course, it is accessible and easy to navigate.
I was nervous and overwhelmed with the first assignment, and it felt like it was going to take forever. Having completed some more, it feels much easier now and am getting into the rhythm of the assignments and reading and watching videos. This has instilled some confidence in me to realise I know what I am doing most o f the time 🙂
This course is very useful and strong
Nicole my tutor has been great help when needed, she has graded my assessments properly and answered any questions I’ve had. I’m really enjoying the course, as I do more assessments I’m getting more into the swing of things. Enjoying it overall
It’s very accessible
I picked CMIT because it allowed me to have the flexibility i needed to study this course. I’m a mother of two children, a wife and a full-time worker, this allowed me to study in my own time and not interfere with my daily responsibilities. It was the perfect fit for me personally.
Yes it is very interesting and it is given me tips for my own children one that we are in the processes with one child being assessed for autism so it is helping me about information to look for

Very helpful.
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. Studying with CMIT gives me both a recognised qualification and practical skills that are immediately transferable to the workplace
The course is very straight forward with the way it is laid out, I like how you get emails on when the classes are and it is easy to sign up for a class and join it.
This course was very enjoyable and manageable
I chose CMIT because it is a recognised institution with a good reputation in Early Learning and Care, and it offers a programme that fully meets the QQI Level 5 requirements. In addition, CMIT provides a practical learning approach, strong student support, and a learning environment that helps develop the skills needed to work with children in Ireland.

Lyndsey was very helpful and very quick with responses to all my questions. I really look forward to taking all that I’ve learned in the course into my Early years setting and sharing it with my colleagues and children.
The course exceeded my expectations. It was well-structured, the content was clear and relevant, and the tutor support was excellent. I gained real insight into the Early Learning and Care sector in Ireland and feel confident in applying what I’ve learned.
