“I worked mainly in the hospitality industry prior to enrolling in the MSL40118 Certificate IV in Laboratory Techniques course. I had also worked in childcare. I had never considered enrolling in a science-based course.
A friend recommended LTT Perth to me as she had studied phlebotomy through them.
I chose to study with LTT as the government rebate on the course was too big of an opportunity to pass up. I had been looking for work for over a year with no success. So I thought having another valuable qualification would help my search.
My training was difficult at times as I had been out of school for a few years. However, having such an understanding trainer was great. Always felt like you could ask questions and could go back through material to get a better understanding. Working hands on in the lab was so much fun and so interesting.
My favourite part of the course was working in the lab, putting into practice what we had been learning. As well as making some awesome friends along the way.
I have since secured a full time position through LTT working for Clinipath, its absolutely the best job I’ve had. I work in the SRA department, which is Specimen Reception. So far they have trained me to ’SRA’ all kinds of specimens. I am expected to maintain complete patient confidentiality.
In specimen reception you receive the specimen and the request form, it would have been collected either by a collector or a doctor. You then check the name and DOB match on both and the barcode, or you assign a barcode to it. You enter all the information into the system at your desk. Then put the specimen into the right rack or tray for collection by all the different departments at the lab. I have also been on many courier runs to and from the airport, such as collecting COVID-19 tests from up north.
It’s been such an interesting job so far and excited to see where it takes me as I’m sure there will be many opportunities to learn new skills within my role. ”
