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.
Even though I only work with learners through distance learning, it is possible to establish a rapport with a learner that has been assigned to me – it is wonderful to help a person develop their confidence through the many distance learning awards we have on offer and to watch their work go from strength to strength.
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.
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 role is being able to recall my industry knowledge and then passing it onto my students. The knowledge I have from working in the industry gives the students a better understanding of real life situations and how to transfer their skills into future careers.
If you are interested in finding out more about how children learn and how we best support them, are considering a career in education, child psychology or social work put LMC at the top of your list! We have excellent industry links for placement experience and combined with our experienced and highly qualified lecturers, we can give you a real edge in the world of work or applying for university.
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.
