Hair Professional Apprenticeship Level 2

Hair Stylist
I would recommend doing a hairdressing course at LMC, I learnt so many skills over the time I attended that I can carry through my career as a hair stylist.
Izzy chose to study Hairdressing at Lancaster & Morecambe College because she described it as offering a great learning environment within The Salon at the College.
After starting at LMC in 2019, throughout the course, Izzy learnt the key skills which encouraged her to become more confident in what she was doing, and also developed a more professional approach to hairdressing. One of the most important skills she learnt was how to deal with working under pressure, which is a huge factor within the hairdressing industry.
The best parts about my course at LMC was definitely the practical salon training, as I really enjoyed working on clients in The Salon at College.
Finishing her course in early 2022 at Prestige Hairdressing Salon, Izzy explains that continually uses all the skills she learnt at LMC in the role as a Hair Stylist. Izzy described her biggest accomplishment since leaving LMC is that she has developed as a stylist and is continuing to learn new techniques each month.
When asked what advice she would give someone considering applying for Hairdressing Apprenticeship course at LMC, Izzy said:

YOUR TUTOR(S)
My favourite part of working at Lancaster & Morecambe college is watching students progress and supporting them with their learning. I also love knowing they are learning within a hairdressing environment and being able to see them develop their skills and knowledge in hairdressing.
All you need to start the Supported Internship course is enthusiasm, motivation, energy and determination. As the course progresses, you will develop your employability, personal and social skills, which will enable you to increase your independence and develop your confidence and self-esteem. All of these new skills will ensure that you are better prepared to enter the workplace as a skilled and effective employee.
The vocational skills development we offer at College are exceptional. The partners we work with are excellent and will help the students to develop further, as well as the opportunities we provide such as the Alicante trip are amazing, and you would struggle to find another college or sixth form that offers similar opportunities.
We have a very knowledgeable and dedicated team from different areas of the animal industry. We offer a range of courses in Animal Studies at different levels to cater for a wide range of students. Practically, you will work with a range of animals on site, spend time in our laboratories and hone your skills further during independent work-related experience. Working with animals can be a fun and rewarding career but it does involve hard graft and dedication!
My favourite aspect of my role is seeing learners who struggle to believe in themselves when they first begin their journey at LMC, but eventually realise that they are very capable. It is a lightbulb moment when they realise they can be or do anything they want to. Learners walk through our gates unsure of themselves and sometimes struggle to believe in their abilities, but by the end of their journey they walk out of LMC confident and ready to take on the world.
I love working with such keen and dedicated staff and students. I also like how every day is different because we attract such a wide range of students including year 11 from local high schools aged 16-18 who apply to the full time courses, to adult students who attend the part time courses. It’s nice to work with so many people from all different backgrounds and cultures who share a passion for cooking.
