Caroline Stewart

Sports Lecturer

I began working at West Lancashire College in 2013 after completing my PGCE placement here. Having been involved in sports for over 25 years, my passion for the subject continues to grow with my focus now on physiology, personal training and sports therapy. Working with young adults who share my passion is what I enjoy the most about working here. Seeing our students achieve and progress makes it all worth while!

Dan

Sports Student

I chose to study at West Lancashire College as it had a course that suited me and my passion perfectly, even the personal training aspects of the course have been transferable to my coaching skills.

Mia

Sports Student

I decided to attend West Lancashire College, as not only is it my local college but I heard from family members and friends that it’s a great college that really support their students throughout their chosen course. My favourite aspect of the Sports course is the balance between practical work and coursework. My next steps are becoming a personal trainer and working in a local gym.

Robert Boardman

Sports Lecturer

Having worked through my PGCE in further education this academic year, I have recently gained my first job as a teacher in Sports at West Lancashire College. Being a teacher has always been my biggest passion and career goal ever since I can remember. My favourite part of teaching is working alongside students to achieve their own personal goals and seeing that ‘light bulb’ moment when they have worked so hard on a topic they struggle with. I am very excited to my first full year in teaching and inspiring the younger generation to pursue their career goals.
