Hoping to progress to university for further study
Studying at LMC has helped me become more independent, and one of the key skills I’ve developed so far is communication. At college, you're constantly interacting with staff and classmates, which really helps strengthen this skill further. The course really supports my professional journey by contributing to my personal development and growth, although studying at College takes dedication and hard work, it all continues to build valuable life skills.
Olivia joined LMC in September 2024 to study Forensic Science Level 3. Drawn by her interest in the criminal justice system, she’s developed key skills and confidence throughout the course. She hopes to progress to university to study Law, Criminology, or Forensic Science.
Olivia chose the Forensic Science Level 3 course because it offers a wide range of career opportunities across several sectors, including law enforcement. She has always had a strong interest in the criminal justice system and was keen to learn how suspects are identified through evidence analysis. This made the course an ideal choice for her interests.
One of Olivia’s favourite aspects of the course is learning various forensic analysis techniques and methods of evidence collection. She also enjoys the variety of lessons and topis, particularly forensic genetics, which she finds especially engaging.

My biggest accomplishment so far at College is becoming more confident in presenting my work and meeting new people. I have stepped out of my comfort zone more often, and it has helped me grow into a more confident person.
After completing the course, Olivia hopes to progress to university to study either Law & Criminology or Forensic Science. She is passionate about deepening her understanding of the criminal justice system and is eager to continue building the knowledge and skills that will support her future career. Her time at College has helped her become more focused and motivated, and she is now looking forward to the next stage of her academic journey.
I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in studying Forensic Science and Criminal Investigation. It also opens up a variety of career pathways, which are helpful for those who are unsure about which career pathway they want to pursue in the future.
YOUR TUTOR(S)
I love working with people of all ages and backgrounds and seeing them make progress and achieve their qualifications, sometimes in “small” ways, such as remembering how to do a written multiplication.
Try to achieve the best grades you can. As a qualified Carpenter or Joiner, you will have the opportunity to work anywhere in the world.
All you need to start the Supported Internship course is enthusiasm, motivation, energy and determination. As the course progresses, you will develop your employability, personal and social skills, which will enable you to increase your independence and develop your confidence and self-esteem. All of these new skills will ensure that you are better prepared to enter the workplace as a skilled and effective employee.
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 enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience of animals with students and seeing a learners journey as they make progress. The best part of teaching the course would definitely be the experience we offer learners, it's a unique and hands on way of developing their knowledge of working with animals.
I would say that Hospitality & Catering industry isn’t an easy option, but it can be really rewarding and enjoyable if you work hard at it. It also has excellent job prospects at the end of the course, as the majority of our completing students gain full time employment within high class establishments
