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:

I was keen to join the fantastic team at LMC and to broaden my horizons after teaching and leading in primary education for many years.
As soon as interviewed, I knew I was keen to work here. I loved the atmosphere of the classrooms and the department that John and the rest of the team have created. One of my favourite things about the role is getting to talk about my passion, it’s not often people get to do that for a living. I’m very lucky!
Whether you're confident that you want to be a plumber/gas engineer, think you want to try your hand at it, or have no idea what you want to do - plumbing or gas work is an excellent asset for anyone to have. They're both great career options, loved by foreign countries if you're looking to travel, or at the very least will save you some money on a plumber in the future no matter what you end up doing!
Be prepared to work hard and be challenged. The more you put in, the more you will get out of the course. It's a rewarding experience as you can clearly see your skills develop. There is also a great demand for skilled plasterers and the potential for good earnings, so why not give it a go?
In my role as a course tutor I’m responsible for ensuring that my students develop in many areas, and not just Hairdressing. I like to encourage my students to improve their well-being as well as support them with their personal development and learning journey, to gain the knowledge to be successful within their course to achieve the qualifications they need to progress in the industry.
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.
