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.
As of May 2022, Chris Squirrel became a Lecturer in Sport & Lead Football Coach at LMC where he teaches on all Sports programmes and leads on the LMC Football Academy, with the aim to prepare a competitive team for the league championship.
Chris started his LMC journey as a student before progressing in his career and specialising in Sports Coaching, Science, Strength & Conditioning as a First Team Fitness & Rehabilitation Coach at Morecambe Football Club.
Since becoming a member of staff at LMC, Chris is developing the use of technology within the courses currently offered in Sport, so that learners can gain real-life experience within their studies.
Access to high-quality facilities and equipment was a contributing factor in Chris' decision to be a part of the College Community and to support teaching and coaching across the department.
Chris is proud of the exposure to Morecambe Football Club which LMC's Football Academy students have access to on campus, alongside the extra opportunities for learners to enjoy and perform in new environments, including arranging football training camps and fixtures overseas in Alicante.
The additional activities LMC offer to students are superb and provides extra opportunities to test and enjoy new environments. The variety of modules that I can teach based on my background in professional sport enables me to support multiple areas of courses at LMC.

I enjoy teaching this qualification a lot because all the apprentices show a real passion for the hairdressing industry. They all leave the course with the skills and knowledge to build their own client bases or set up their own businesses within the hair industry. Seeing the learners confidence grow more and more each week is my favourite part of the role.
We have a very knowledgeable and dedicated team from different areas of the animal industry. We offer a range of courses in Animal Studies at different levels to cater for a wide range of students. Practically, you will work with a range of animals on site, spend time in our laboratories and hone your skills further during independent work-related experience. Working with animals can be a fun and rewarding career but it does involve hard graft and dedication!

Come and join us here as LMC! You’ll gain new skills, use industry standard equipment, be taught by a dedicated team of specialists who are passionate about educating you to a higher skills level, so that you can gain an Apprenticeship or full time employment.
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.
If you are interested in working with animals, this is a great course for you! As not only do you gain the knowledge and practical skills to work with animals, but you also gain the employability skills to be able to work in teams and work within the industry. It's important to remember that jobs in the animal industry are not just about working with animals, you need to have the skills to deal with people too!
