Common questions
How do I enrol in Certificate IV in Laboratory Techniques?
To enrol in this course you’ll need to meet some key requirements. These include completing a pre-training review, which involves a language, literacy, and numeracy assessment to ensure you’re prepared for the course. You also need to be at least 17 years old and follow all safety guidelines, such as wearing closed-in shoes and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Additionally, state government vaccination requirements may apply, depending on your location.
Can I maintain other employment or commitments while studying?
Absolutely! The Certificate III and Certificate IV courses at Lab Tech Training are designed with flexibility in mind. Classes are held part-time—2 to 3 days per week—so students can balance their studies with part-time jobs or family commitments. Many students use this flexibility to gain relevant industry experience while studying, such as casual roles in laboratories or related environments, which can help build their resume and prepare them for full-time positions after graduation.
