The practical laboratory certificate - Become an expert in laboratory analysis

Have you completed basic training in the paramedical field? Do you work as a medical secretary, have you trained as an H+ medical secretary or do you have other basic medical training and would you like to expand or deepen your skills in laboratory analyses?

A course that concludes with the certificate of proficiency in the practice laboratory (certificate/school diploma) usually lasts six months (one to two evenings per week) and provides participants with important know-how for understanding medical prescriptions. After successfully completing the course, participants are able to carry out various laboratory analyses and work as part of a team with doctors and medical assistants. Simpler and everyday laboratory tests in the field of haematology, coagulation and urine diagnostics can be carried out independently with the certificate of proficiency in the practice laboratory. During the course, participants learn the technical terms in the field of medical laboratory technology and analysis and learn how blood cells can be distinguished from one another in differential blood counts. They perform daily tasks in the medical practice laboratory, including with the analysis equipment, in a skillful and practiced manner, complying with all hygiene and disposal guidelines. Those with a certificate of proficiency in the medical laboratory are also familiar with the most important clinical pictures that can be examined in the laboratory.
