The primary goal of the Chemistry Technician Certificate of Proficiency is to train students in basic lab techniques, lab safety, scientific communication, and record keeping. These techniques enhance both employment opportunities for students majoring in chemistry and those students who choose to pursue relevant pre-professional tracks.
