Real student review: Bhavika Modh

I have a science background and a Biotechnology qualification that I studied in India. I gained experienced in the industry for just one year with a medical device manufacturing company in India. They also make rapid diagnostic kits. I worked in a junior role in the research department.

I moved to Australia in 2018 and have been working in customer service and warehouse roles. I have always wanted to get back into the laboratory environment and search for job satisfaction. I noticed lab job advertisements were often looking for people with the MSL40118 Certificate IV in Laboratory Techniques qualification.

I decided to study the MSL40118 Certificate IV in Laboratory Techniques course with LTT as they offer a shorter course compared to other providers. The course is really good, I tell everyone they should study this course. I have had so many opportunities after this course, I have received a call from every company I have submitted a resume to. Previously I wouldn’t even hear back! I am currently deciding between two job offers! I am leaning towards the Quality Assurance Officer role with PepsiCo as this would be a food science technician role, which is closer to what I was doing back home. I would like to end up working in the medical or pathology field.

I really liked working with microscopes, being able to see the cells under the microscope was really cool. Sahar is a very helpful trainer. I asked her so many questions and she was so patient. She is so calm and explained things in simple terms so we can understand.
