Overall, the course was clear, flexible, and useful
I really enjoyed the course. very easy to navigate.
It was fantastic. Thank you to everyone for your hard work. I wish I could say thank you in person. You have collectively taught me so much, I have learned so much more about childcare. The modules were presented so well. The PDFs were the greatest help, along with the webinars. I loved that we could go at our own pace it really suited me with work.
I am gaining so much knowledge and understanding in certain areas of childcare with this course, CMIT really meet the needs of their learners and give great support when needed
The course is well organized, easy to understand, and very helpful in building practical knowledge and skills
I am really enjoying the course, well explained lots of information
I really enjoy this course so far. I enjoy the webinars and the flexibility. Communication with my tutor is excellent and any questions I ask are answered clearly and in good time. I would recommend this course to others in a heartbeat. I also am grateful for the payment plan option!
I enjoyed completing Level 6 in ELC with CMIT. I look forward to continuing to improve my knowledge over time with experience and more studies. If CMIT was to offer Level 7 & 8 in ELC I would consider continuing my personal development
The website is very easy to use, and the teachers provide excellent support. The learning materials are clear and have helped me a lot to learn more.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this course so far. The tutors have all been so helpful and have presented the webinars and coursework so clearly. I’ve learned a lot of new skills and gained a lot more knowledge of Childcare so I feel the course has done it’s job and been hugely beneficial. I love that it can be done at your own pace. I aimed for one module/assessment a month but if work or life ever interfered with that or delayed me I was happy and relieved to still have the freedom to leave it for a couple of days and work on it when I could. The webinars were very helpful and grounding to have. It established a more tangible connection to the college and tutors and fostered a sense of accountability – “someone is expecting me to finish these assessments to the best of my ability” – so I’m not just left to my own devices. Thank you for everything.
I previously completed my level 5 with CMIT and liked the convenience of online learning. I found the tutor feedback and support very good and the course material excellent, so chose to do th level 6 here also.
I enjoyed the learning and putting into practise at work.
Assignments sent back faster and with more detail if things need to be fixed
I enjoyed it throughout and the tutors were extremely helpful and I enjoyed all of the webinars
Easy to navigate the course page great to be able to work on your own time.
I chose to study with CMIT as it was recommended to me by multiple people and I found it to be affordable. I was always extremely anxious in school and college with deadlines, workloads etc but with CMIT, being able to complete my work in a timeframe that suits me and being able to work on only one module at a time really helps.
Overall, I am enjoying the Childcare Level 6 course at CMIT College. The course content is relevant and helpful, and it has improved my understanding of childcare practice and child development. The tutors are supportive and provide useful feedback, which helps with learning and assignments. So far, the course has been a positive experience.
I heard wonderful reviews on cmit from other childcare staff workers in my building
Really enjoying it.
I did my level 5 here and found the overall experience amazing, from the webinars to tutors quick and helpful responses to any questions I had, i was already planning on coming back to do my level 6 halfway through my level 5! It was great, so interesting and I especially loved the Sociology module. Course was easily accessible, as were the webinars and tutors responded promptly
I’m really enjoying this course.
Definitely the best course I have completed! Content was well laid out, easily accessible and easy to follow. Having all the information of all modules accessible was helpful. Webinars were informative and just interactive enough. Tasks were outlined clearly and all had a learning purpose. Very happy I chose CMIT!

I choose to study with CMIT because the course is online and I could study while I worked. I also completed my Level 5 in Childcare with CMIT so I knew about the course work already. The course is easy to follow and the support from the tutors is excellent. I loved the way I could study, attend the webinars and complete the assessments at my own pace.

From someone who hasn’t done an online course before and I was nervous how id manage, but I have to say the whole lay out was easy to understand and well broke down that I didn’t feel overwhelmed with it.
My tutor Lindsey Higgins was fantastic.
