2022-2024
I chose this course as it aligns with my goals and many trips were offered. I liked that it was assignment-based, allowing me to put time into my work. As the College is quite far away it allowed me to meet new people. The transport to College was also free allowing me to get there and back easily.
Sophie started Lancaster & Morecambe College in 2022 and enrolled in our Uniformed Protective Services course Uniformed Protective Services, hoping to pursue criminology in the future.
The international opportunities influenced Sophie's decision to choose LMC as it would provide her with a diverse range of industry knowledge. She also saw College as a new chapter, a chance to meet new people and make new friends whom she may not have known otherwise.

Sophie received the chance to go to Bulgaria as part of her course, for free! During this trip, students provided daily entertainment to children from Bulgaria, Ukraine and the Czech Republic which included water gymnastics, face painting, origami, dancing, archery, volleyball, pool games and kids games.
I loved every minute of our trip to Bulgaria, from meeting new people and making new friends to working with the children and learning about their different cultures and nationalities. Going to Bulgaria was one of my biggest achievements whilst studying at LMC.
The course has allowed Sophie to continue her studies at Lancaster University and reach her goal of pursuing criminology.
I would recommend the Uniformed Protective Services course. as it involves so many different topics including criminology, behaviour & discipline and physical fitness.
YOUR TUTOR(S)
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.
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
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
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 love working with my students and helping them to achieve their goals. It is extremely rewarding when students pass their exams, grasp a complex concept, and, ultimately, succeed in their qualification and in their careers.
