Duration Options
Duration depends on previous experience and qualifications.
For participants who have satisfactorily completed the Certificate III of Laboratory Skills, the Certificate IV is one evening per week for 35 weeks per year.
Direct entry into the Certificate IV level is possible for those with skills and knowledge at least equivalent to the Certificate III qualification. The program for such people may then require extra class attendance. This is negotiated on an individual basis. It is possible to complete this qualification entirely from an appropriate workplace.
Selection Process • Individual Interview
