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)
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.
Welding particularly is like lego for adults – its great fun making things. Whereas Engineering will teach you why things are made the way they are and a combination of both will give you the skills to make almost anything you can think of! Why not give it a go!
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.
My favourite part of my role is being able to recall my industry knowledge and then passing it onto my students. The knowledge I have from working in the industry gives the students a better understanding of real life situations and how to transfer their skills into future careers.
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
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.
