Exploring apprenticeships information, advice and guidence appointments are available now. We offer opportunities to learn more about apprenticeships by attending a one-to-one information session and by joining one of our Exploring apprenticeship workshops - including tours, Q&As and application support.
Prospective apprentices are welcome to bring along another person including a parent, carers or a supportive person to explore what an apprenticeship is and have a look at what is involved from application to the end point assessments. It's an informal discussion with time to ask questions, find out about support with apprenticeships and how to navigate all the options for you.
These appointment slots are available in our Twight session on Tuesdays 3pm - 6pm and Fridays 10am –12pm.
Get work ready with support from our progress coach to create or improve your CV, write a cover letter and to understand applications processes. We also offer opportunities to develop interview skills, to build confidence in applying for a job and selling your skills from the beginning of the application process to getting through the interview.
All applicants for apprenticeships will need to provide an up-to-date CV before they can be added onto our matching system.
These appointment slots are available in our Twight session on Tuesdays 3pm - 6pm and Fridays 10am –12pm.

My favourite part of my job is helping people achieve their GCSE English, a key qualification which will open doors for them in the future.
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!
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.
Welding particularly is like lego for adults – its great fun making things. Whereas Engineering will teach you why things are made the way they are and a combination of both will give you the skills to make almost anything you can think of! Why not give it a go!
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
The most satisfying part of my job role is inspiring students to have the confidence to become beauty therapists and work in their dream careers.
The course gives people experiences of business in many forms which can be used in a huge variety of possible future careers – past students have gone on to work in sectors as diverse as fashion, charities, social media, nuclear energy, defence manufacturing and the public sector.
My favourite part of my role is being able to recall my industry knowledge and then passing it onto my students. The knowledge I have from working in the industry gives the students a better understanding of real life situations and how to transfer their skills into future careers.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Be prepared to work hard and be challenged. The more you put in, the more you will get out of the course. It's a rewarding experience as you can clearly see your skills develop. There is also a great demand for skilled plasterers and the potential for good earnings, so why not give it a go?
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.
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.
