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.
