In Chemical Laboratory Technician (CLT) two-year diploma program, students will benefit from practical training and learn the essential principles and techniques used in the biochemical sciences. They will gain hands-on experience needed to perform experiments and determinations with the precision required in a broad range of industries. That means getting hands-on training in the proper care and use of laboratory apparatus for wet and instrumental methods.

The program covers a broad range of topics, including organic and analytical chemistry, biochemistry, industrial microbiology, as well as pharmaceutical and instrumental methods.

Throughout this program, students will develop the following skills: • Perform assays and determinations with speed, precision and accuracy • Care of laboratory apparatus for wet and instrumental methods • Physical, chemical and microbiological analysis • Conduct basic manual analysis • Prepare organic and inorganic compounds • Perform instrumental chemical analysis and report results

When students graduate from this program, these are the types of career options that they can explore: • Laboratory technician • Quality control technician • Analytical chemistry technician
