What our students have to say

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LTT Pathology Collector Course Review

I completed the Certificate III in Pathology Collection in March 2026 at Osborne Park through LTT Group Pty Ltd, and I can confidently say it was an excellent experience.

A standout of the course was our trainer, Justin Rogers. He is phenomenal—bringing extensive real-world experience into the classroom and sharing practical scenarios that truly prepare you for the job. He creates a comfortable learning environment, is approachable, and genuinely cares about helping you become a competent and confident phlebotomist.

The team at LTT Osborne Park were also fantastic. Everyone is friendly, supportive, and clearly invested in the success of their students. Communication throughout the course was clear, the facilities were great, and the class sizes were ideal for hands-on learning.

The practical training was a major highlight. The in-class venepuncture practice is very hands-on with excellent supervision, helping you build confidence and develop your technique. The online learning platform is well-structured and easy to follow, complementing the practical components perfectly. I also really appreciated that LTT includes certification in Drug and Alcohol collection, which not all courses offer.

The course prepared me extremely well for the workplace. It helped me find my rhythm with blood collection and boosted my confidence significantly. The one-week work placement was incredibly valuable and gave me real insight into the field—I was even contacted for an interview just a week after completing my placement.

The only minor downside is limited parking, but this is communicated clearly before starting the course, so it’s not unexpected.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone—whether you’re starting out or changing careers. As a career changer myself, I feel excited and confident about my future in this field. It’s also encouraging to know that phlebotomy offers long-term career opportunities and flexibility.

Overall, a five-star experience!
