A Unique Opportunity To Make Your Laboratory Technician Dream A Reality
View(s):Diploma in Laboratory Technology is a two-year diploma awarded by the Institute of Chemistry Ceylon. This course conducted by the Institute has shown an increased demand over the years. This two-year programme continues to be the only programme producing middle level technical officers in fields related to Chemical Science in Sri Lanka. It helps those who are already employed in laboratories and industries to upgrade their knowledge, skills and qualification as a laboratory technician.
In the first year, students are introduced to the fundamentals in Basic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Biological Chemistry, Electronics, Statistics, Management, Information Technology and Laboratory Practice. During the second year, students have the option to choose either the Food and Material Technology (FMT) stream or Clinical Laboratory Technology (CLT) /Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) stream.
The course units offered in the FMT stream are designed for students aiming at an industry-based career. Fundamental of Chemical Engineering, Food Microbiology, Food Analysis, Polymer Science and Petroleum, Industrial Chemistry, and Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Technology are several course units that make up the FMT syllabi. On the contrary, the course units in the CLT/MLT stream are structured to assist students to succeed in clinical and medical laboratories in the private and public sectors. Introduction to Medical Laboratory, Clinical Biochemistry, Diagnostic Microbiology and Diagnostic Parasitology provides a glimpse of the modules that constitute the CLT/MLT stream. Certain common course units such as Quality Assurance and Accreditation and Laboratory Practice are common for students following either FMT stream or CLT/MLT stream.
Irrespective of the field of choice, it is mandatory for the students to undergo a six-month internship training at a selected industry or a medical laboratory. As a whole, students are required to complete a total of 60 credits. Lectures will be held full day on Friday and Saturday for the first year students, and on Saturday and Sunday for the second year students.
For the prospective students, applications are now open for the academic year of 2022/2024. Those who have followed GCE Advance Level in science stream are eligible to follow the Diploma in Laboratory Technology. However, there are certain criteria that have to be satisfied by a student in order to obtain the Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology at the end of 2 years. They include having obtained a Credit pass for Chemistry in the Advanced Level Examination and being note more than 35 years old.
