    I'm working full time 9-5 and I'm stuck in a bit of a rut. I'm interested in science but I don't think I could afford to leave work and go to college full time. Are there science college courses that could lead to work as a lab technician that are part time/evenings only?.

    Pretty much every college/university would do such a course part-time.

    Have a look at the respective institutional websites and come back to us with questions.

    You may struggle to find part time science courses as due to the number of practical laboratory classes involved they don't tend to readily lend themselves to evening or part time schedules.

    There you go - two evenings per week:

    Though it is Pharmaceutical Technology, so don't know if that is what you want.

    i found this to be true when i was looking for part time science courses, most dont offer p/t due to the hours required.

    It turns out that it's a follow up course for science industry graduates or current employees. I'm starting from scratch, the reason I'm asking on Boards is I was hoping that people involved in the industry or currently studying could give some direct advice like which courses to stay away from etc. Thanks anyway.
