LMC prepared me to go out into the workplace. The tutors gave me a great insight into the hospitality industry, as well as teaching me the key skills that I needed, and I’m very grateful for that. LMC has the tools & knowledge to set you up on your journey to becoming a young chef so I would say, go for it!

As a mature student returning to college, I always felt comfortable and welcome. The tutors have been extremely approachable and are flexible to the classes needs. They are always open to questions and have guided us through the work at a steady yet comprehensible pace.

Distance Learning was different because I could learn at my own pace, although there are deadlines, the course gives you more than enough time to complete your units, and the learner section is very in depth and easy to follow.

The course tutors were incredibly supportive during the application process and it was amazing to have them on my side, especially with Amanda having that cabin crew experience herself.

The advice I’d give to anyone considering an apprenticeship is to just do it, if you’re not enjoying what you do now, just go and do something you enjoy.

I’ve learnt so many skills since the start of my apprenticeship, so many skills that I couldn’t have learnt on my own.

Since leaving LMC in 2016 I have gone on to complete my BA hons in Children, Schools & Families at The University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN). Alongside my degree I also worked in a private residential childrens home as a Senior Care Officer.
