It is recommended that students in the Academic and Career Entrance Certificate (ACE) program take a Technical or Apprenticeship Mathematics course within the ACE program.
At the heart of every scientific or technological discovery is a laboratory technician. If you're interested in learning more about how the world works and enjoy research and laboratory analysis, the Fanshawe Chemical Laboratory Technology - Science Laboratory program is the right fit for you.
What to expect from your lab tech courses
Over three years and 12 to 16 months of paid co-op placement, you'll build a sound basic knowledge of biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics, with emphasis on the principles and performance of standard lab practices, procedures and techniques for biological, chemical and physical analysis. Your lab tech training will also include hands-on application of your theoretical knowledge, using our state-of-the-art instrumentation. As you progress through your lab tech courses, you will study advanced topics such as biochemistry, molecular biology and modern physics, while developing the soft skills necessary to be successful in any professional environment.
You'll graduate with a dynamic set of lab tech skills, preparing you to start your career in a variety of laboratory environments like applied research and development, educational, process and quality control, as well as food and beverage industries, petrochemical companies or technical sales. If you're considering further academic study, graduates may choose to pursue Fanshawe's Bachelor of Applied Technology (Biotechnology) degree or one of our articulation agreements with select universities.
Features and benefits:
Earn while you learn - 12 to 16 months of paid co-op allows students to make employer contacts, gain work experience and apply their knowledge in a real world laboratory environment. Learn more about co-op;
Pathways to success - graduates may be eligible for advanced standing credit to Fanshawe's Bachelor of Applied Technology (Biotechnology) degree program or may choose to pursue the completion of a degree with one of the articulation agreements available with select universities.
