@ Open University of Sri Lanka - OUSL
High efficiency in a laboratory will require knowledgeable workers who are capable of maintaining quality in a laboratory while ensuring safety. The laboratory you are working can be a research lab, a quality control lab, a university lab or a school lab. The responsibilities and the work expected from you might differ slightly, might be more specific, but the common tasks will be more or less the same. This certificate course is designed for Laboratory Assistants to work efficiently in a laboratory, manage the laboratory efficiently, and ensure safety of all who work in the laboratory while providing a better service.
Certificate in Laboratory Technology programme offered at Level 1 provides opportunities for adults without formal educational qualifications to enter the field of laboratory technology and obtain tertiary educational qualifications. This course is suited for any person who wishes to obtain qualifications in Laboratory Technology.
