About This Course

This course focuses on chemistry, chemical processes, safety, laboratory management, data analytics, life sciences and industrial chemistry with applications in quality control, quality assurance, testing services, medical diagnostic testing, application and product development. It equips laboratory assistants or students with equivalent roles with the knowledge and skills required to undertake new roles in the following Skills Framework:
• Energy and Chemicals (Laboratory Technician/Technologist)
• Biopharmaceuticals Manufacturing (Quality Assurance Assistance/Quality Control Assistant Laboratory Analyst/Quality Control Laboratory Analyst/Chemist/Microbiologist)
• Food Manufacturing (Quality Control Technician/Quality Control Assistant/Laboratory Technician)

It is a broad-based applied science education with emphasis on chemistry, chemical processes, life science modules and laboratory skills. This course provides training to work as a competent laboratory analyst and essential skills to execute tasks related to process technicians.

What You'll Learn

Upon completion of this module, students will develop a basic understanding that changes in matter involved the study of its feasibility due to kinetics and thermodynamics consideration and extent of change. The qualitative and quantitative aspects of chemical kinetics are introduced to students, and this will form the basis for the study of chemical equilibrium, including chemical equilibria in aqueous media involving acids and bases. Topics in organic chemistry will introduce students to basic concepts on how simple molecules can be constructed and applied to organic reaction transformations and functional group interconversion. This provides students the opportunity to apply their knowledge on structure and bonding to understand the structure and reactivity of organic molecules. The module also aims to equip students with the analytical and observation skills critical for working in a chemical laboratory by exposing them to a range of experimental skills and techniques in the areas of reaction kinetics, simple organic synthesis and purification and qualitative organic analysis.
