I have secured employment after having completed my Pathology Collection and Drugs & Alcohol Collection course with Adept Training last year. As luck would have it I have also received numerous job offers from pathology centres in direct response to the letters of introduction and resume's I delivered to all my local centres and clinics. The Adept Training method and its students are by far the preferred candidate for employment which has been confirmed to me by those that work within the industry. So thank you Adept, I wish you and all past and present students, good luck and good fortune.
I completed my Certificate III in Pathology Collection in 2016 and was granted a position with Australian Clinical Labs soon after. I am so glad that I did my certificate with Adept Training. I gained so much from my classes especially the practical lessons. The staff at Adept training gave me the key foundations that I carry to this day in my job and gave me the confidence I needed in all my collection procedures. They helped me through out the recruitment process to get my job and the facilities at Adept are definitely the best I've come across. I now work at 3 different hospitals and I love my job. It's a rewarding career to help people in this way. If your thinking of starting a career in Phlebotomy. Call Adept Training now!
