Real student review: Charminie

Before studying at LTT I was working full-time in retail while studying a bachelor’s in science as an off-campus student. I first saw information about LTT on the Australian Government’s My Skills website (www.myskills.gov.au). I chose the Certificate IV in Laboratory Techniques as I believed it would help me to gain the practical skills necessary to start working in the laboratory field. I was hoping to find employment in a science-related industry on completion of my degree, and I thought the certificare would complement my degree and help me find employment sooner. I enrolled with LTT Melbourne as the course duration was shorter than the other training providers listed on My Skills.

I really enjoyed the hands-on practical training, the duration of the course, and how flexible the course was to suit around my current employment. I was easily able to work full time and complete the course. The learning environment at LTT is so friendly and supportive. My trainer assessor, Vinita, is a highly capable and helpful instructor who supported my journey from day one. She made my learning experience a very enjoyable one.

I’m really pleased as now that I have finished the course, I have been appointed as laboratory technician at ALS, in the environmental lab in Springvale. I will be starting my training soon. I am really thankful to Vinita and LTT for all the guidance and support I received. I am now starting in a career that I have a keen interest in, and I’m really hopeful about what the future may hold for me in this industry.

I am grateful for all the knowledge, skills and expert guidance that I received. I would highly recommend LTT to anyone who would like to gain skills and knowledge required to work in the laboratory industry.
