Community
We're proud to be at the heart of our community and love to keep you informed of developments at Lancaster & Morecambe College. We're all living through uncertain times, but at LMC we firmly believe that providing accessible education to our young people and adults is more important than ever.
As the Adult & Community Manager, my focus is to engage with the local community to ensure LMC offers a range of courses and opportunities accessible to everyone, whether it be career focused, further professional development, starting the journey to Higher Education or simply enjoying our non-vocational community courses.
This year we’re delighted to see more courses on offer for our Adult learners including:-
- Excel (all levels)
- Food Safety in Catering
- Introduction to Bookkeeping
- CMI Chartered Management Institute Level 5
- Encouraging Gen Z to Thrive in the Workplace
Details of these courses and more can be found in our Adult Course Guide

Community Open Day - Saturday 28 June, 11am - 3pm
Bring the whole family to enjoy a fun-filled family day this coming June as we are throwing open our gates to welcome the whole community onto our campus for some FREE activities & taster sessions.
Meet our friendly tutors, tour our fabulous facilities, and chat to many local charities and community groups who will be sharing their work for the community, alongside their volunteering and fundraising opportunities.
English for Speakers of Other Languages - ESOL
If English is not your first language and you would like to improve your essential language skills, our range of ESOL courses will help you develop competency and confidence.
We work closely with local organisations, including Global Link, RAIS and the Lancashire Refugee Integration Team, to ensure we provide our learners with appropriate support and guidance, enabling them to progress onto further study or into employment
Full-time learners:
We offer a full-time (approx 20 hours per week) ESOL course for young people who wish to improve their English language competency, and develop key skills and knowledge for further study or employment. Our ESOL Pathway offers learners the chance to study maths & English, alongside Living & Working in the UK qualification. You will also have the opportunity to take part in sports sessions, tutorials and community learning projects.
Part-time, adult (19+) learners:
Our specialist tutors deliver weekly sessions to ESOL learners at all levels from Beginner through to Level 2. Courses are available during the day time and in the evening, on our main LMC campus and at a variety of locations across the district.
Once you have applied, you will be invited to attend an assessment with one of our ESOL tutors, who will discuss the different course options. Our friendly team will also be able to provide information about funding and any additional support that is available.
Following the successful completion of the course you will have the opportunity to discuss progressing onto further courses, such as GCSE or vocational qualifications. The ESOL qualification is widely recognised by employers and will help you with all aspects of everyday life in the UK.

We’re offering FREE sessions to help you build confidence with numbers, save money on household bills or improve your potential at work.
