About the Course

The 'Only One Chance' Skill — Perfected

ICSI is the most commonly used technique in any ART lab, yet mastered by very few to benchmark levels. This program offers extensive guided practice on micromanipulators alongside mentors who help clear doubts at every step — from pipette handling to troubleshooting degenerated oocytes.

Vitrification training runs in parallel with 4 dedicated stations covering everything from cryobiology basics to advanced oocyte and embryo vitrification. Trainees leave with both technical skill and the confidence to handle critical cases independently.
