Choosing to study Palliative Care Support with CMIT was one of the best decisions I’ve made for both my personal and professional growth. From the very beginning, I was impressed by how well-structured, accessible, and supportive the course was. What truly stood out was the compassionate tone of the content — something so important when learning about end-of-life care. The course not only gave me a strong foundation in practical skills but also deepened my understanding of the emotional and psychological needs of patients and their families. The flexibility of online learning through CMIT allowed me to study at my own pace while still feeling connected to a real support system. The tutors were knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping me succeed. I chose CMIT because I wanted more than just a qualification — I wanted to feel prepared, confident, and compassionate in my role as a caregiver. This course delivered exactly that, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone considering a career in palliative care or who simply wants to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Thank you, CMIT and my Tutor for such an enriching and empowering experience. The course was excellent and well done to understand and my Tutor too. I’m absolutely delighted.

Initially I thought that it’s impossible to study online but with reviews I read about CMIT while making research on reliable schools online, I became interested and immediately enquired about the school and behold was convinced. I enrolled and must confess that I got satisfied. I got acquainted with lots of information regarding the patients conditions and the support for people with life limiting conditions.
The course is interesting. I’m being informed on the things I take for granted as a lay person. Knowledge is really a potential power.
It was very beneficial.
