University of Montana College of Technology Offers Lab Technician Courses

Western Montana is the state’s biotechnology and medical science corridor, and a number of companies and agencies in the region are seeking job applicants with basic laboratory skills and knowledge.

The University of Montana College of Technology is responding to the need for qualified job applicants by offering two courses that provide certificates of completion for laboratory workers.

Laboratory Technician I, a two-credit course, will be offered this fall in Missoula and Hamilton. The 14-week evening course offers a Certificate of Completion that qualifies students for entry-level laboratory/manufacturing positions.

Classes will be held one evening each week for three hours. Orientation will take place this fall.

Students who complete the fall course are eligible to take a second seven-week course in spring 2008 that offers a Laboratory Technician II Certificate of Completion and two college credits.

Completion of the level II course qualifies students for laboratory assistant positions in research and in clinical and industrial production.

To be eligible for these courses, students should have a high school diploma and show aptitude for and interest in science and basic mathematics.

Tuition for the Laboratory Technician I fall course is $268.30 for Montana residents and $408.80 for nonresidents. The course also requires an additional lab fee of $55.

To register for the course, students must first be admitted to COT. Applications for fall semester can be completed as early as April 11 and should be completed as soon as possible. There is a $30 one-time application fee.

For more information, call the COT outreach program at 406-243-7812.
