About this course

(01)Overview

Who it’s for

  • Medical graduates (MBBS, MD, BDS, BAMS, BHMS)
  • Life-science graduates (MSc MB, CE, BI)
  • Embryologists improving ICSI or cryo skills
  • Geneticists & pharmacists (B.Pharm)

ICSI is the most commonly used technique in any ART lab, yet few master it to benchmark level. This programme gives extensive guided practice on micromanipulators, with mentors at every step from pipette handling to troubleshooting degenerated oocytes.

Vitrification training runs in parallel, with four dedicated stations covering cryobiology basics through to oocyte and embryo vitrification. Trainees leave with the technical skill and the confidence to handle critical cases independently.

  • Live IVF lab exposureTraining inside an active IVF lab.
  • Guided micromanipulator practiceFrom pipette alignment to sperm immobilisation and aspiration.
  • Four vitrification stationsSemen, oocyte and embryo vitrification with LN₂ handling.
  • Log book + certificateProgress logged throughout, plus study material.
