Real student review: Juliet June 21, 2022 Sarah Knuckey “I am a paediatric doctor from the Philippines who has been out of work for 12 years.I compared LTT Brisbane with two other training providers and decided that LTT offers the best option for me. The course was the right duration, accessible by train (since I do not drive and I live in Beerwah), and the staff were very supportive.My training experience was excellent! My favourite part of the course was the hands on learning of phlebotomy. I have done it a million times in the past since I used to work in a major maternity/paediatric hospital (with NICU) in Manila. But our tools were different then. So, I needed to reorient myself and adjust.Prior to completing the face-to-face part of our course, 4Cyte Pathology visited the training centre and conducted interviews. It was a great opportunity to meet people who work in the pathology industry. Through that initiative, I was hired as a collector. I was initially assigned as a COVID-19 Collector and later on assigned a pathology collection room at Beerwah (my local doctors) surgery, where I completed my 100 collects. I was then assigned at Medpods Maroochydore on my own. I have collected various samples, such as blood, urine/faeces, sputum, nasopharyngeal swab, urea breath test, oral glucose tolerance test. I also conduct pretest sample preparation (centrifuge, aliquot, freezing). I am enjoying my current role, though there are times when I still miss my past experience in neonatology. Despite this, I am planning to keep on working as a collector for the next few years.I am truly grateful and privileged that I made the right choice in choosing LTT for my training. I will surely recommend LTT for anyone interested in doing sample collection training. LTT is a great training facility, thank you very much.” — Juliet, HLT37215 Certificate III in Pathology Collection student
