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.
