    Great course, mix of everything in it in 1st year, Hardware, programming, networking, maths etc.

    If you have a genuine interest in computers and would like to get into the IT side of things it gives a far more practical hands on experience than you would experience in some of the university based courses.

    If you enjoy it and keep the results good, then CIT has plenty of Masters options in the computing area that are very popular too.

    The maths is grand, in CIT they teach you everything you need to know out there, there is a proven statistic across the college that the people who go to every maths class/tutorials and complete any homework generally pass without any issues whatsoever. People generally struggle when they miss classes.

    I tell people to treat it like a job and dont miss any classes, and start working on assignments as soon as they are given to you and you will breeze through it for the most part.

    I did IT support and enjoyed it, and went on to do IT Management. Its lacking programming skills, so I would recommend after first year joining the Computing course which is allowed as far as I know if you want to go into software dev etc. College modules to start are generally taught with the presumption the students have no knowledge in the area. Like Outkast_IRE said, just show up to every class, do every assignment, and you will pass easily.

    Thanks guys, was not sure whether to do it or not!
    I think I will stick with just the IT support for the 3-4 years because I would like to do the 6 month placement.
