Common questions
Absolutely! The Certificate III in Pathology Collection is designed for beginners, making it an ideal choice for those with no prior experience in healthcare. The course covers foundational skills like venepuncture, specimen handling, and workplace safety, while also developing soft skills like patient communication. Clinical placements provide hands-on experience, allowing students to apply their knowledge in real healthcare settings. Many graduates start with no background in healthcare but leave feeling confident and job-ready.While further training would be required for career advancement, pathology collection is an excellent doorway to the healthcare industry for those who have no industry experience.

Missing veins is a common part of learning to perform venepuncture, and every student experiences it during training. Sarah Knuckey from Lab Tech Training told us that students start on silicone arms to build basic techniques before advancing to supervised practice on peers. Instructors provide detailed feedback to help students improve and gain confidence. Mistakes are treated as learning opportunities, not failures. With time, repetition, and expert guidance, students develop the precision and confidence needed to perform venepuncture effectively in real-world settings.
