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.”

My favourite part of my role is helping my students take the first step towards fulfilling their ambitions to go to university and, eventually, progressing into their dream careers.
I love working at Lancaster & Morecambe College with such an amazing team that are passionate about delivering outstanding teaching across the departments.

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.
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.
