Medical Laboratory Assistant Certificate

Admission Requirements: Entry to the Medical Laboratory Assistant Certificate requires Grade 12 or equivalent, with transcripts submitted, and basic computer skills demonstrated by typing at 40 net words per minute on a five-minute test administered through TRU's Assessment Centre. Applicants must also confirm a clinical practicum placement before applying, since placements cannot be guaranteed in every home region, and must consent to a Criminal Record Check and complete the TRU-OL medical-requirements form; the page notes some requirements may be waived with the Academic Director's permission. The page states no language-test requirement; Thompson Rivers University's general standard for direct entry into an undergraduate certificate is IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 88 with no section below 20, as published on TRU's international English-requirements page.
