This course is great with brilliant tutors who are supportive and helpful, their knowledge is immense and they are always willing to support.

If you are willing to put in the hard work and commitment, you will find it the most enjoyable and rewarding part of your life and you will make great friends.

The course gave me a lot more confidence and made a career change a lot more achievable. Hard work and dedication really pays off.

The course is amazing and is absolutely worth all the effort!

I have always wanted to be a midwife and I knew I needed to gain the correct qualifications to allow me to go to university. I spoke to other people about it and found out about the Access to HE course at LMC, which would give me the qualifications I needed to progress to university.

My experiences on the Access course at LMC gave my confidence a huge boost, and beyond the subject knowledge, the course helped me master presenting to groups, improved my interview skills, and guided me through the entire UCAS application process.

It was the beginning of my journey to my dream career as a teacher.

“I took away the belief that it’s never too late to start again and that there are different paths to success. LMC helped me regain my confidence and showed me that with the right support and effort, I could not only achieve my goals but exceed them. The experience taught me resilience, independence, and the importance of using the tools and resources available to me."

LMC has helped me move into a professional space as I am now heading to the University of Cumbria to become an amazing Occupational Therapist. I want to get a promising career that helps me give back to the NHS, who have helped me through a major journey.

Two key things I learned during my time at LMC were to push myself to be more sociable and to speak up. My classmates were so encouraging; they gave me the space to share my thoughts and reminded me that it’s okay to ask for help. The tutors were fantastic, always adapting their support to meet our individual needs.

The most enjoyable aspects of my course have been learning new skills and meeting new people. It’s been incredibly rewarding to challenge myself academically and discover subjects I never thought I’d be interested in. The supportive environment has helped me grow in confidence, and I’ve built strong friendships with classmates who share similar goals. I now feel much more prepared and motivated to take the next step towards higher education.

After retiring, life was great for a while until I got bored. I saw an advert for a part time cooking courses at Lancaster & Morecambe College and, at the age of 70, decided to enrol. My mother had been a confectioner and a great cook, so I thought it was appropriate to follow in her footsteps and see what I could do!
