My favourite part of this role is working with such an amazing team here at Lancaster & Morecambe College, and also being able to pass on my industry knowledge to all my students and support them in their journey to becoming a Beauty Therapist.
Sandra O'Hara works with the Hairdressing and Beauty Therapy Team and teaches students on the Beauty Therapy Level 3 full time course and Nail Services City & Guilds Level 3 Diploma part time evening course.
Sandra joined the team as a Beauty Therapy tutor at Lancaster & Morecambe College in 2020 after doing a short period of voluntary work in the department. She throughly enjoyed working in an educational environment and so decided to complete the Certificate in Education qualification and become a qualified lecturer. Having previously worked in the beauty industry Sandra has a vast experience of many different beauty techniques and procedures, which she covers in her teaching at College. These beauty techniques include:
Sandra is also a member of The Beauty Guild, and teaches on the Beauty Guild Accredited Courses which are suitable as Continued Professional Development (CPD) to upskill qualified therapists or those working towards a regulated qualification in Beauty Therapy

When asked what advice Sandra would give to someone applying for a Beauty Therapy course, she replied:
Do it and don't hold back! There are many fantastic career opportunities waiting for you in the beauty therapy industry which can take you anywhere in the world. You must however be keen and hardworking as the beauty industry isn't easy, but can be extreamly rewarding.
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.
I would say come to College, study Beauty Therapy, be pampered, pamper clients, but be prepared to work hard for the qualifications to get far in the industry. It's a very rewarding career to go into, putting smiles on clients faces and giving them a new found confidence.
Whether you're confident that you want to be a plumber/gas engineer, think you want to try your hand at it, or have no idea what you want to do - plumbing or gas work is an excellent asset for anyone to have. They're both great career options, loved by foreign countries if you're looking to travel, or at the very least will save you some money on a plumber in the future no matter what you end up doing!
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!
If you are interested in finding out more about how children learn and how we best support them, are considering a career in education, child psychology or social work put LMC at the top of your list! We have excellent industry links for placement experience and combined with our experienced and highly qualified lecturers, we can give you a real edge in the world of work or applying for university.
I enjoy being part of the team and thinking of new ways to support local businesses in realising their potential. Watching learners transition from a one-day course to gaining qualifications motivates me to continue teaching at LMC.
