Think of this course as an investment in your future, think of your potential and how and what you can do to achieve it. The AAT Accounting Certificate offers you the basics of accounting and a fantastic opportunity to see what topics interest you. The course is a great foundation for employment or further studies.
I think my biggest accomplishment has to be passing my GCSE Maths! It has opened up so many pathways into other areas that were previously out of bounds or restricted because of missing my GCSEs grades. This has definitely got to be my greatest achievements, and one that I am very proud of!
I have always been a believer in Apprenticeships. If you want a career that you enjoy, then this is a great way to get the qualification and the experience at the same time. It's a great way to start your career, or if like me, you are after a career change. Best of Luck!
The main thing I took away from my time as a student at LMC is to throw yourself into something, even if you are worried about it. The support networks at the College help so much to develop confidence to do something. LMC also encourage their students to run their own projects, which is something that I believe that has helped me after College.
LMC emerged as the perfect fit for my academic journey as they offer a program that seamlessly transitioned me from my functional skills studies into an AAT Acounting qualification. The knowledge I gain from studying this course is very valuable as it allows me to build a strong foundation of knowledge as well as handling my practical skills.
Everyday is a learning day, never underestimate your own abilities and just go for it! Since completing my apprenticeship, I have been promoted to a Regional Director for possibly one of the best care companies in the UK, that's a big achievement!
I really enjoyed the project aspect of my apprenticeship, as I got the chance to work on an area of the business which previously I didn’t have anything to do with as part of my day-to-day role. As a result of this I learnt a lot about the project area and worked with new colleagues from across the institution. Writing my project report and presentation helped me to recognise the progress I had made and the impact the project had on the institution, as well as identify the new skills I learned.
Having the opportunity to volunteer with so many activities was something I really enjoyed. It increased my confidence and helped me develop new skills which helped me get where I am today. I specifically enjoyed helping out at opening evenings and helping people make the big decisions when it comes to further education.
I chose the Business Support with Marketing Level 3 Apprenticeship as it aligns with my desired career path. The staff at Lancaster & Morecambe College are incredibly supportive and helpful, no question or request is too big. They even provide outstanding support even when you are in your workplace, which has been a huge help with my theory work. The modules on the course relate to what I do in my workplace, and have helped me with tasks within my role.
As I was a Hairdressing Apprentice at Lancaster & Morecambe College over 10 years ago, when I opened my own salon I really wanted to help a young person to learn the skills of the industry and pass on my knowledge.
The business studies course had a wide range of job roles that I could go into. As I was unsure what I wanted to do, this course gave me many different options from accountancy to marketing.
The Business & Enterprise Level 3 course kickstarted my career more than I could have ever imagined. I gained so much from the course; knowledge, self-discipline, confidence, and I learnt so much about the industry.
