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.
If you want the opportunity to use and develop practical skills, learn about an accessible vocational area, have fun, work hard and deal with the public then this is the course for you. LMC is a great community asset and I think the local district are lucky to have such a modern, flexible and engaging place of education.
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!
Teaching is my favourite part of the role, I love being able to help people reach that lightbulb moment in class! I also enjoy being able to inspire the next generation of Residential workers.
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!
I love working at Lancaster & Morecambe College with such an amazing team that are passionate about delivering outstanding teaching across the departments. The Apprenticeship courses at LMC are well developed programmes that offer students amazing opportunities and experiences, whilst allowing them to earn while they learn as they progress through the Apprenticeship.
