Meet Felicity Berriman

Felicity holds a Bachelor of Nursing and has worked in pathology for more than 30 years. She began her career in pathology collection at Mayne Pathology (Laverty Pathology) in 1995, then worked at San Pathology at Sydney Adventist Hospital, before founding Adept Training in 2002.

She still works in the industry today, as a cord blood collector with CellCare and an accredited drug, alcohol and hair follicle collector with ToxLogic. That means what she teaches is current, practical and grounded in what employers need.

Felicity also reviews our course material, develops new courses and is our most experienced trainer.

Our college

A full campus with a licensed collection centre

Our Harris Park campus is set up for healthcare training. Students learn face to face in our classrooms, then put their skills into practice in our own licensed pathology collection centre.

Because we run our own licensed pathology collection centre, we organise placements for our students. There's no need to find a placement yourself.
