Program overview
The Advanced College Diploma - Chemical Laboratory Technology - Science Laboratory (CLT1) (Co-op) is a 3 year program at Fanshawe College’s London campus.
This is bench science taught at industrial depth: three years of analytical instrumentation, organic and inorganic techniques, quality systems and research methods, run in laboratory blocks rather than occasional lab periods, with co-op terms inside working science laboratories. The Science Laboratory stream's graduates operate the instruments other programs only demonstrate.
Fanshawe brings big-college machinery to bear — industry advisory committees, applied-research centres and one of Ontario’s largest co-op operations — inside a city that keeps student budgets workable.
Its field maps to CIP 41.0301 (Chemical laboratory technology); eligible programs of two years or more support a three-year PGWP. Verify on Fanshawe’s official PGWP-aligned list and with IRCC before applying — final decisions rest with IRCC.
