2022
I would recommend LMC as a fantastic place to study sport and continue your development and interests in football. Your studies link to your football development as much as possible, helping you gain the knowledge, skills and experiences to pursue a career in sport in the future.
As of May 2022, Chris Squirrel became a Lecturer in Sport & Lead Football Coach at LMC where he teaches on all Sports programmes and leads on the LMC Football Academy, with the aim to prepare a competitive team for the league championship.
Chris started his LMC journey as a student before progressing in his career and specialising in Sports Coaching, Science, Strength & Conditioning as a First Team Fitness & Rehabilitation Coach at Morecambe Football Club.
Since becoming a member of staff at LMC, Chris is developing the use of technology within the courses currently offered in Sport, so that learners can gain real-life experience within their studies.
Access to high-quality facilities and equipment was a contributing factor in Chris' decision to be a part of the College Community and to support teaching and coaching across the department.
Chris is proud of the exposure to Morecambe Football Club which LMC's Football Academy students have access to on campus, alongside the extra opportunities for learners to enjoy and perform in new environments, including arranging football training camps and fixtures overseas in Alicante.
The additional activities LMC offer to students are superb and provides extra opportunities to test and enjoy new environments. The variety of modules that I can teach based on my background in professional sport enables me to support multiple areas of courses at LMC.
When asked what advice he'd give to someone applying for a course in Sport, Chris said:

YOUR TUTOR(S)
Behind every great business is a fantastic accountant! AAT qualifications are highly valued and they can really push you to achieve great things in your career. The whole team at LMC are dedicated and excited about giving you the best possible start in your new journey!
My favourite part of this role is working with such an amazing team here at Lancaster & Morecambe College, and also being able to pass on my industry knowledge to all my students and support them in their journey to becoming a Beauty Therapist.
I enjoy teaching this qualification a lot because all the apprentices show a real passion for the hairdressing industry. They all leave the course with the skills and knowledge to build their own client bases or set up their own businesses within the hair industry. Seeing the learners confidence grow more and more each week is my favourite part of the role.

Industry specific apprenticeships are a great way to learn new skills and knowledge, achieve a recognised qualification and earn a wage. Customer service is the corner stone of every successful business, and courses at LMC will help you identify, improve and introduce these skills successfully.
The most satisfying part of my job role is inspiring students to have the confidence to become beauty therapists and work in their dream careers.
