This school does not lead to any medical, nursing or other clinical licence. LES Institute teaches the pre-clinical sciences only — anatomy, physiology, clinical-skills knowledge and medical terminology — as theory and on-screen simulation. There is no patient contact, no placement and no state examination here. Our certificates are certificates of study, not a licence, registration or university credit.

Medical Terminology (bilingual)

You work near health records, health data or a clinic desk and the words are the barrier. Eight weeks, on a phone, in both languages.

What you'll be able to do

Break any medical term into root, prefix and suffix and work out its meaning
Move accurately between French and English medical vocabulary
Read a clinical note, a laboratory request and a discharge summary as a non-clinician
Use standard abbreviations correctly and know which ones are unsafe

How it's built

Short daily drills, a bilingual glossary that grows week by week, and weekly documents to decode. Built to pair with Clinic Administration in the Health school and with Health Data.

Laboratory simulations

Record-decoding drill	Simulated notes and results to translate and summarise, graded weekly.
Abbreviation safety sort	Sort abbreviations into safe, ambiguous and do-not-use.

Structure

1. Word building	1–2	Roots, prefixes, suffixes, plurals
2. System by system	3–6	Vocabulary for each body system, in both languages
3. Documents & assessment	7–8	Decode real-format simulated records; final written test

What you earn
