Neve started her hairdressing journey at Lancaster & Morecambe College in 2018. She chose to study at LMC because she had known many people who had studied at the College and successfully completed the Hairdressing Level 2 course who had progressed into great jobs in the industry. Neve is a Hair Stylist at Prestige, Lancaster and has worked there for 3 years now.
The Hairdressing Apprenticeship course at Lancaster & Morecambe College greatly improved my confidence, allowing me to deal with clients of all ages!
The best bits of the Hairdressing Apprenticeship at Lancaster & Morecambe College are getting involved with the other students on the course by helping each other in the practical lessons in The Salon, and being able to work on actual clients hair is a great help in developing your skills.
I especially enjoyed working with Claire my Training Co-Ordinator, as she was very enthusiastic and really helpful when it came to the End Point Assessment of my Apprenticeship.
Starting at LMC with no confidence, Neve has since thrived on the Hairdressing Apprenticeship, and is now pleased to say that her biggest accomplishment since leaving LMC is having a full column of returning clients. Although this number of clients can challenging, Neve appreciates that not one client is the same.
“I’m proud knowing I started my Hairdressing Apprenticeship with no confidence and have come a long way in developing my skills within the hairdressing industry.”
When asked what advice she would give to someone considering the Hairdressing Apprenticeship Level 2 course, Neve said:

My favourite aspect of my role is seeing learners who struggle to believe in themselves when they first begin their journey at LMC, but eventually realise that they are very capable. It is a lightbulb moment when they realise they can be or do anything they want to. Learners walk through our gates unsure of themselves and sometimes struggle to believe in their abilities, but by the end of their journey they walk out of LMC confident and ready to take on the world.
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!
My favourite part of my job is helping people achieve their GCSE English, a key qualification which will open doors for them in the future.
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 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.
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!
