We're celebrating our latest Ofsted inspection which graded the College as GOOD and recognises the improvements which have been introduced since their previous visit.
90% of students go straight into employment or further study after completing their course at College.
We have a successful, long-standing history of offering European Work Placements for our students, helping them gain a foothold in their chosen careers as well as a better understanding of the wider world.
Last year, alongside trips to Italy and Spain, we expanded these opportunities even further with exciting industry placements in the Caribbean, New York and Canada. These fully-funded trips offer our students the opportunity to develop confidence and employability skills, working alongside their peers from other countries and with students from different educational backgrounds.

All members of the LMC community are eligible for a free breakfast in The Lounge, setting you up for the day!
We are consistently upgrading our facilities and developing
our campus. The most recent works include a new courtyard, science labs, outdoor brickwork canopy and 2 floors of classrooms.
We've increased our Apprenticeship Provision by 22% since 2018 and are now in the Top 20 FE Colleges nationally for Apprenticeship achievement.
All learners can develop their employability skills through industry placement experience.
Whether it's learning support, health & wellbeing, advice & guidance or nerves about coming to College, we are committed to fostering equality of opportunity by offering a high-quality service to all our students, regardless of personal circumstances. We advise learners to get the most out of their College experience by taking advantage of the additional support available to them.
Come and join us here as LMC! You’ll gain new skills, use industry standard equipment, be taught by a dedicated team of specialists who are passionate about educating you to a higher skills level, so that you can gain an Apprenticeship or full time employment.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
My role is to work alongside the tutors and students to ensure the work placements are secured, completed and recorded in line with procedural requirements. This is a simple description, as there is a lot of work behind the scenes to ensure this happens! I see good communication, administration, attention to detail and patience as key attributes of the role.
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.
I love to see the difference between a student starting the course and then when they leave their course. They always gain confidence thanks to their new skills and it's amazing to see them leave with their qualification knowing that I have contributed in helping them achieve it.
I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience of animals with students and seeing a learners journey as they make progress. The best part of teaching the course would definitely be the experience we offer learners, it's a unique and hands on way of developing their knowledge of working with animals.
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.
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.
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.
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.
