Do it, apply and take the opportunity as the course can change your life, teach you how to handle pressure, and help build confidence for your future career! If you want to work in the hospitality and catering industry this course is for you, you learn skills for life. My career wouldn't be possible without the course.

I’ve been studying Land-Based Studies Level 1 at LMC and it’s been a great experience so far. One of the things I’ve enjoyed most is getting hands-on with a wide range of animals. It’s not just about looking after them, we’ve also been learning the science behind their care, which has been really interesting.

“I took away the belief that it’s never too late to start again and that there are different paths to success. LMC helped me regain my confidence and showed me that with the right support and effort, I could not only achieve my goals but exceed them. The experience taught me resilience, independence, and the importance of using the tools and resources available to me."

After retiring, life was great for a while until I got bored. I saw an advert for a part time cooking courses at Lancaster & Morecambe College and, at the age of 70, decided to enrol. My mother had been a confectioner and a great cook, so I thought it was appropriate to follow in her footsteps and see what I could do!

When working at Haven, not a day goes by where I don’t put the skills College taught me to use. I have my tutors to thank for believing in me and helping me achieve the position I’m in today.

While playing video games has been a fun part of the course, so far I would say my favourite part has been the opportunity to look in-depth into the world of gaming and how the sports industry is rapidly adjusting to making video game play a key area of the industry. I’ve also enjoyed the opportunity to learn about the business side of Esports as it has given me more of a ‘behind the scenes’ insight into gaming.
