The most enjoyable aspects of my course have been learning new skills and meeting new people. It’s been incredibly rewarding to challenge myself academically and discover subjects I never thought I’d be interested in. The supportive environment has helped me grow in confidence, and I’ve built strong friendships with classmates who share similar goals. I now feel much more prepared and motivated to take the next step towards higher education.
Jessica Bolger has recently completed an Access to Higher Education Diploma in Health & Social Care. Currently working as an administrator for a local business, Jessica undertook the course to pursue her ambition of studying Midwifery at university.
"I chose to study at LMC because it offered a brilliant route into university. I’ve always been passionate about Health & Social Care, especially Midwifery, so when I discovered this course, it felt like the perfect stepping stone towards achieving my dream of becoming a Midwife."
Jessica shared that one of the most enjoyable aspects of the course was developing key academic and personal skills such as time management, referencing, essay writing, and research, all of which will be invaluable during her university studies. She also highlighted the supportive and friendly environment at LMC, saying she thoroughly enjoyed meeting new people, from fellow classmates to tutors.
"Studying at LMC has really helped me grow professionally. It gave me the UCAS points I needed to secure a place at my chosen university and finally access the Midwifery degree I’ve dreamed of for so long. More than that, it’s given me the confidence to take that next step, knowing I’ve built a strong foundation of knowledge and skills. I’m incredibly grateful for the support I’ve received throughout the course—it’s made a huge difference in helping me move closer to my goal of becoming a Midwife."
Jessica’s journey at LMC has equipped her with the skills, confidence, and all the qualifications needed to take the next step towards her dream career in Midwifery. With a strong foundation and a place secured at university, she’s excited to begin the next chapter.
YOUR TUTOR(S)
The course gives people experiences of business in many forms which can be used in a huge variety of possible future careers – past students have gone on to work in sectors as diverse as fashion, charities, social media, nuclear energy, defence manufacturing and the public sector.
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.
I’ve seen first hand how learners from all backgrounds thrive here at College, and it’s amazing to watch their confidence grow as they realise what they’re capable of. Education really can open doors, and LMC is a great place to start that journey.
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.
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 the role is guiding my students through the more practical aspects of Forensic Science, especially latent fingerprint collection and evidence handling. I enjoy watching them develop their confidence and skills in these techniques
