Our Level 4 Diploma is the first step in gaining higher education qualifications in Laboratory Animal Science & Technology (LAS&T). We have split our qualification into three Diplomas (level 4-6) to allow students the freedom to progress to the level that suits them best.
There is no obligation to complete all 3 diplomas and you can take a break between levels, returning to study whenever the time is right for you. We pride ourselves on offering courses that are flexible and specifically designed to improve your performance in the laboratory.
The Level 4 Diploma in Laboratory Animal Science & Technology covers numerous learning units in a variety of subjects. Each unit will equip you with valuable skills for the workplace, and develop your research and writing skills in order to prepare you for levels 5 – 6.
