National Diploma Programme
Science Laboratory Technology (SLT) is a branch of applied science that focuses on the practical aspects of laboratory work and scientific research. Professionals in this field, known as Science Laboratory Technologists or Technicians, play a crucial role in supporting scientific research, experimentation, and analysis in various fields of science and technology.
The programme's goal is to produce technicians capable of carrying out various laboratory analysis and practical works under the supervision of a technologist. The course is intended to produce technicians who will: Assist in chemical analysis and quality control in: Industry (oil, food, brewing, detergent, textile etc.) Hospitals, schools, colleges and research institutions. Assist in physical and electronic laboratories with physical analyses and the maintenance of instrumentation. Assist in biological and biochemical analysis and experiments in hospitals, schools, colleges and research institutes. It plays an important role in the foundation stages of research and development (R&D) and in scientific analysis and investigation
The course is expected to prepare students for employment in related work such as sales, marketing, administration and management in industry and also, for self-employment. Working as part of a scientific team with tasks that include: Sampling, testing, measuring, recording, analyzing results. While also assisting in the advancement and development of modern medicine and science. Some jobs you can do as a science laboratory technology graduate include:
