industry Jade started her Lancaster & Morecambe College journey after school in 2015, studying Hospitality & Catering Level 2 then later progressing onto . She chose to study at LMC as she had heard from friends that it was the best college in the area and had also seen in the media that many great chefs had trained here.
Jade loved all aspects of her course, never finding a dull moment. During her time here, she gained all the relevant skills, knowledge and behaviours that allowed her to get her dream career. Having the opportunity to work in our on site restaurant, The Bay Restraunt allowed Jade to develop her confidence and customer service skills further.
The best part of my course was every part! I really enjoyed the practical side, when we got to cook, as it allowed me to gain valuable skills that I still use today.
In her current job as a café worker, Jade utilises everything she learnt at college on a day to day basis. The course greatly benefited her as she learnt a variety of skills including time management, teamworking and how to deliver quality service.
I know my tutors would laugh at me for saying I learnt time management, but honestly all the skills I learnt have stayed with me since I left college. It's really all thanks to my tutors Adrian and Julie as they supplied me with everything I needed to know to work in this industry.
Jade uses the cooking and baking skills she learnt at college at home and as a hobby. She even entered a local show with her cooking, saying:
I won 1st prize at a local show for my rasberry jam! I even got a mention on James Martin's Saturday Morning.
Since leaving college Jade has always been employed in the hospitality industry, her first job was as a supervisor at Aspect Bar and Bistro where she worked for over 5 years. She would definitely recommend the course to anyone thinking about it.

YOUR TUTOR(S)
I love working with such keen and dedicated staff and students. I also like how every day is different because we attract such a wide range of students including year 11 from local high schools aged 16-18 who apply to the full time courses, to adult students who attend the part time courses. It’s nice to work with so many people from all different backgrounds and cultures who share a passion for cooking.
I would say that Hospitality & Catering industry isn’t an easy option, but it can be really rewarding and enjoyable if you work hard at it. It also has excellent job prospects at the end of the course, as the majority of our completing students gain full time employment within high class establishments
If you want the opportunity to use and develop practical skills, learn about an accessible vocational area, have fun, work hard and deal with the public then this is the course for you. LMC is a great community asset and I think the local district are lucky to have such a modern, flexible and engaging place of education.
