“I commenced training with LTT in September 2020. Due to COVID-19, I was stood down from the Qantas First Lounge. Prior to this I was working in financial administration.
I decided to enrol in the laboratory operations course with LTT in Sydney for a change of career. Luckily LTT had a few seats left in their class, as other training providers couldn’t offer a place until next year.
The MSL30118 Certificate III in Laboratory Skills is fast paced, but it is manageable as Nancy organises work accordingly. Nancy is a passionate teacher; she truly cares for her students. She is meticulous in providing details of what the expectations will be when working in a lab. She really feeds us knowledge of her past experiences and works tirelessly to deliver quality teaching.
My favourite part of the course was testing the samples.
I have been able to secure employment with Symbio. My area of work in Symbio is in the media. I prepare reagent solutions when its low, sterilise the solutions and equipment prior to use, operate autoclave, masterclave and dispenser machines. I check the pH of the water prior to use prepared reagents.
I also prepare samples weighing, enriching and coding. I operate the computer for the solution procedures, and other sample operating procedures that needed to be input into the system like coding prior to incubation. A bit of admin, stock tracking inventory, I guess I’m an all-rounder in the lab!”
