“Before studying at LTT I was working in a bank, but I wanted to change my career. I decided to study with LTT as the course duration was shorter than the other training providers, but the entire course was complete and thorough.
I completed my course in May 2020 and was trained by Joseph Lenehan. My learning experience at LTT was very friendly and supportive. Joseph is a highly capable and helpful instructor who supported my journey through to the end.
I am amazed at how much Joseph was able to teach us in such a short period. It was challenging having the COVID-19 pandemic while studying, but he was always there to help! The hands-on learning at LTT is incredible.
The classroom experience was highly informative and fun. My trainer instilled total confidence in me when I made mistakes, as they were treated as learning opportunities. After finishing the course, I felt amazingly comfortable with live bleeds.
I have now gained employment at Melbourne Pathology and feel as though the course’s hands-on training prepared me for employment.
At the moment I am working at a COVID-19 collection centre. I throat and nose swabs from the community. I also reassure them with their enquiries (e.g. what will happen next, when will they get results). I also complete the paperwork.
Even though there were restrictions in place, my trainer was able to finish the course by due date with the great support and co-ordination of all the management and staff at LTT. The staff arranged live bleeding sessions to keep our skills up till work placement opportunities were given.
It was an amazing experience to study at LTT. A big thank you to my trainer Joseph, and the staff of LTT for your invaluable support and guidance for my career path as a phlebotomist! ”
