100% do it, there are many knowledgeable tutors at LMC who are very supportive, there to help you thrive and achieve what you want from the course! It’s also a good opportunity to meet new people and make new friends.
Neve started her hairdressing journey at Lancaster & Morecambe College in 2018. She chose to study at LMC because she had known many people who had studied at the College and successfully completed the Hairdressing Level 2 course who had progressed into great jobs in the industry. Neve is a Hair Stylist at Prestige, Lancaster and has worked there for 3 years now.
The Hairdressing Apprenticeship course at Lancaster & Morecambe College greatly improved my confidence, allowing me to deal with clients of all ages!
The best bits of the Hairdressing Apprenticeship at Lancaster & Morecambe College are getting involved with the other students on the course by helping each other in the practical lessons in The Salon, and being able to work on actual clients hair is a great help in developing your skills.
I especially enjoyed working with Claire my Training Co-Ordinator, as she was very enthusiastic and really helpful when it came to the End Point Assessment of my Apprenticeship.
Starting at LMC with no confidence, Neve has since thrived on the Hairdressing Apprenticeship, and is now pleased to say that her biggest accomplishment since leaving LMC is having a full column of returning clients. Although this number of clients can challenging, Neve appreciates that not one client is the same.
“I’m proud knowing I started my Hairdressing Apprenticeship with no confidence and have come a long way in developing my skills within the hairdressing industry.”

YOUR TUTOR(S)
Industry specific apprenticeships are a great way to learn new skills and knowledge, achieve a recognised qualification and earn a wage. Customer service is the corner stone of every successful business, and courses at LMC will help you identify, improve and introduce these skills successfully.
Be prepared to work hard and be challenged. The more you put in, the more you will get out of the course. It's a rewarding experience as you can clearly see your skills develop. There is also a great demand for skilled plasterers and the potential for good earnings, so why not give it a go?
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.
I would recommend LMC as a fantastic place to study sport and continue your development and interests in football. Your studies link to your football development as much as possible, helping you gain the knowledge, skills and experiences to pursue a career in sport in the future.
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.
Try to achieve the best grades you can. As a qualified Carpenter or Joiner, you will have the opportunity to work anywhere in the world.
