Agriculture Unlike many of my fellow students, I’m not from a farming background
but I have learnt a great deal at Lackham which I am certain will stand
me in good stead when studying for my degree in Agriculture. I feel lucky
to have studied in such wonderful surroundings and taken part in many of
the extra curricular activities including horse riding, climbing and trampolining
- it’s been great fun!
Agricultural Machinery and Engineering
Martin
Spicer
BTEC National Diploma in Agricultural Engineering
My dad is a dairy farmer, so I’ve always been into machinery. I heard
about Lackham’s reputation, came to look around and was in no doubt
that this was the place for me. There is a really good atmosphere among
staff and students - we are more like a group of friends having a laugh.
I am confident to go back to work now taking my new skills and knowledge
with me.
Equine Studies
Jo Horler
BTEC National Diploma in Horse Management
At school I was just a number, at College I am an individual free to express
my own opinion. I have been given loads of support - my tutors have really
put themselves out to help me. There is so much going on I’m never
bored, the facilities are brilliant and there are so many jobs I can go
into at the end of it all - it’s really exciting.
Land and the Environment
Darren Fitzgerald
GNVQ Intermediate in Land and Environment
A careers adviser suggested this course to me - and I’m glad they
did. My favourite part of the course is working outdoors in the woodland
planting trees and raising chicks and ducks. We are a nice, small group
that learn a lot from our lecturers who are very enthusiastic. Next year,
I’m staying here to study Countryside Management and plan to do conservation
work, maybe as an RSPB warden in the future.
Agricultural Engineering
Matthew Ingram
HND in Agricultural Engineering
I took a five-year gap from education before deciding to do a HND to improve my options for the future. The staff are more like friends than tutors and if you need help or support they are always there for you. Living at Lackham is brilliant with a friendly atmosphere and excellent social life. - I have done so well here that I have now enrolled on a degree course!
