Elaine joined Lancaster and Morecambe College in 2018 alongside her advisory role for the Alzheimer's Society as she was missing working in education. The combination of the two roles has allowed her to use her knowledge to educate and support others who want to develop their learning and it works brilliantly.

We asked Elaine what her favourite part of her role is and she said...

Even though I only work with learners through distance learning, it is possible to establish a rapport with a learner that has been assigned to me – it is wonderful to help a person develop their confidence through the many distance learning awards we have on offer and to watch their work go from strength to strength.

Elaine's teaching activities include tutor assessments and internal moderation of a wide range of Level 1, 2 and 3 distance learning courses. Some of the most popular courses we offer as distance learning are the courses touching on the topic of mental health awareness and care. Elaine has an indepth knowledge particulary of this topic as she is also a qualified registered mental health nurse and holds her NVQ Level 3 in Early Years.

We asked Elaine, what would you say to someone thinking of taking part in a distance learning course and she said... 

I would say have a go! The course materials are excellent; the distance learning team will help and support you to learn at your own pace and in your own way. If you are interested in working in the health and social care sector or if you would like to refresh your knowledge there is something for everyone.
