Diploma of Laboratory Technology

This practical, hands-on course is designed to give you the skills you need to seek work in a laboratory environment, and is also ideal if you have a strong scientific background, are a university graduate seeking practical laboratory training, or if you are an existing laboratory worker looking to either gain a formal qualification for the work you already do, or have already undertaken some units and are now seeking to complete an entire qualification.

This course is also ideal if you are looking to get introductory Science training as a pre-course before you begin further studies at university, or if you just want to undertake one or more units as professional development without gaining the full qualification.

Our specialist Laboratory Operations teachers will guide you through the theoretical knowledge and practical skills you need to apply a range of laboratory technologies to conduct scientific-technical tests and sampling in most industry sectors.
