Real student review: Ransith Samararathnage Don

I am a science graduate from Sri Lanka. I completed a Bachelor of Science (Chemistry) and worked as a R/D Chemist for multinational company in Sri Lanka. I was working in food production before enrolling in the lab course at LTT Melbourne.

Many people study the MSL40118 Certificate IV in Laboratory Techniques course to open the door to science jobs. I was in the same boat because I don’t have an Australian qualification.

It was really helpful to get basic science knowledge, skills and experience to work as a laboratory technician. LTT’s course is well organised and covered everything required to work as a lab tech. The practical classes were very helpful to get idea how Australian standards work, and how quality and safety is important while working in lab.

The Trainers at LTT are so friendly and accommodating to students. I would like to thank my Trainer Dr. Priya Thomas, she has very good knowledge, experience and is very friendly. Simply she was amazing teacher.

LTT has very strong connections with industrial laboratories. Just after I completed my course, I got a job as Laboratory Technician at ALS in the Water and Soils Department. We are testing soils and water, organic and inorganic testing and some microbiology testing too.

I can recommend this course anyone who wants to enter the Australian science laboratory industry. This is the best course I have completed! Very flexible, organised and affordable.
