Uniformed Protective Services
Dowdales
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)
I would say come to College, study Beauty Therapy, be pampered, pamper clients, but be prepared to work hard for the qualifications to get far in the industry. It's a very rewarding career to go into, putting smiles on clients faces and giving them a new found confidence.
I love working with such keen and dedicated staff and students. I also like how every day is different because we attract such a wide range of students including year 11 from local high schools aged 16-18 who apply to the full time courses, to adult students who attend the part time courses. It’s nice to work with so many people from all different backgrounds and cultures who share a passion for cooking.
My favourite part of working at Lancaster & Morecambe college is watching students progress and supporting them with their learning. I also love knowing they are learning within a hairdressing environment and being able to see them develop their skills and knowledge in hairdressing.
It’s really difficult to state just one thing I love about working at Lancaster & Morecambe College because there are so many! I really wanted to work here because the college has a fantastic reputation. I love introducing new ways of working and keeping up with relevant trends to improve the course, and I really enjoy the supportive environment that we create for our students.
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 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.
