    Paid Education: General Questions

    Hi, I have been selected as a MedLabTech. It turns out that you can do NCM-STEP for the MedLabTech trade but they only select one person in Canada every year for the position. I am pretty happy with myself and I am excited to move forward. I will be going to B.C. for 2.5 years (2 years at a...

    Met Tech Info?

    Hi, I posted in this forum in January and wanted to give you an update. I have been selected as a MedLabTech and not a MedTech. I was confused when I first entered the forum as the names sounded so similar. It turns out that you can do NCM-STEP for the MedLabTech trade but they only select...

    There is 1 spot left for STEP and it seems like a gamble. It would be in civillian school and it doesn't seem secure. The recruiter told me that if I went into another trade and applied for STEP that there would be a possiblity that I wouldn't be able to leave it because I would be needed.

I thought to myself that it was too big of a gamble and that I would like to be secure. So even though a Medical Laboratory Technician would be my favourite, I have to accept that it...

    Met Tech Info?

    Right now I am weighing my options. I would prefer the airforce over the army because people around me say it is a better option. Although I am interesting in being a Meteorological Technician, I have been looking into NCMSTEP program as well for Medical Laboratory Technician. It is more up...

    Also, you are right. I need to figure out what I want to do. I just see a Medical Laboratory Technician as being a really good option. Sorry if I am missing something, what do you mean by it is not recognized or suitable? The BCIT is not the school I meant, I would like to go to the college of...
