Originally from Russia, I moved to Australia in 2013. Back home, I studied a Bachelor of Environmental Engineering and I worked for three years as a petroleum engineer before we moved.
Before enrolling at LTT Perth, I was working part time at Australia Post. I have always been thinking about something a bit more challenging. Now that my boys are a bit older, I was thinking about changing my career.
There was an environmental lab very close to my house that I would drive past often, which made me think; “Should I work in an environmental lab?”.
I decided to study the Certificate IV in Laboratory Techniques after my friend recommended LTT to me, as she did the course as well. I thoroughly enjoyed my training experience with LTT. It brought back my confidence and helped to refresh my knowledge. I gained some new knowledge too, especially relating to the lab. I enjoyed all the work we did the lab; I even loved all the calculations!
I have gained a position at ALS as an Environmental Lab Technician – which is the lab very close to my house! I really recommend this course for people who enjoy maths and chemistry! Sahar was a kind and helpful trainer. She really helped with any questions we had.
