Access to HE Diploma
Morecambe Bay Academy
2017-2019
Midwife
It’s all thanks to the course I took and my amazing tutors, that I now have my dream career! I would highly recommend the course to anyone wanting to go to university, without the Access course I would never have had the opportunity as I only had 1 GCSE when I left high school.
Bobby first started her journey at Lancaster & Morecambe College when she finished high school and found the College to be friendly and supportive. In 2017, Bobby came back to College to study our Health and Social Care Professionals Level 2 part time course which led her to progress onto our full time Access to HE Diploma in 2018 and is now a midwife for the NHS.
When asked what the best parts of the course were for her, Bobby said
I loved that the tutors were always there for me and helped guide me through my course. I found all the learning modules to be relevant and interesting.
The access course allowed her to expand her academic skills such as how to correctly reference and how to better structure her writing in preparation for University level studying. As well as developing her academic skills, Bobby also further improved her critical thinking skills which helps her whilst working in an often stressful, high-intensity environment such as the NHS.
When writing assignments for my university work, I would always remember what my tutor, Laura, had taught me. She would always say that to enhance the quality of my assignments I should ask myself ‘so what?’; using this I was able to produce my best work.
Since completing the Access course, Bobby attended University of Cumbria, developing the skills and knowledge that she learned during her time at College. After graduating with an impressive first class honors in Midwifery. Bobby currently works as a midwife for the NHS,
In my job role, I am responsible for the care of women and their families throughout their entire pregnancy journey. It’s all thanks to the course I took and my amazing tutors, that I now have my dream career! I would highly recommend the course to anyone wanting to go to university, without the Access course I would never have had the opportunity as I only had 1 GCSE when I left high school.
YOUR TUTOR(S)
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.
Behind every great business is a fantastic accountant! AAT qualifications are highly valued and they can really push you to achieve great things in your career. The whole team at LMC are dedicated and excited about giving you the best possible start in your new journey!
In my role as a course tutor I’m responsible for ensuring that my students develop in many areas, and not just Hairdressing. I like to encourage my students to improve their well-being as well as support them with their personal development and learning journey, to gain the knowledge to be successful within their course to achieve the qualifications they need to progress in the industry.
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.
I truly believe the skills developed as a Teaching Assistant are incredibly valuable and transferable, whether you want to progress within education or explore a different pathway in the future; it is a career where you can continue to learn, develop and grow.
Teaching is my favourite part of the role, I love being able to help people reach that lightbulb moment in class! I also enjoy being able to inspire the next generation of Residential workers.
