Are you currently attending secondary school, love science and want to work in a laboratory? Then this is the course for you!
Laboratory skills gives students hands on experience in scientific techniques by working in a simulated laboratory. You will use current industry procedures; learn how to collect samples for testing, prepare laboratory solutions, handle bacteria and use high performance equipment in our microbiology, chemistry and general purpose laboratories. This course will also cover work health and safety, communications skills, and quality systems in laboratories.
The Certificate III in laboratory skills is delivered to VETDSS students on a part time basis, while they study at a secondary college. If you choose to complete scored assessments in the second year, your score will then contribute to your ATAR.
