Hi there,

No course has assured that you will be able to earn more. It is the skills that matter the most. Talking about your mentioned courses I am going to explain each with points.

• OT Technician

Usually, they work in operation theatre in hospitals and several emergency departments and sometimes in ICU as well. Their main focus of work is to assist the doctors during surgery or any operation. Also, they are responsible to do arranging, sterilizing the instruments and cleaning etc.

Though diploma courses are job oriented one has to understand the future value as well. The subjects in the course are:

• Anaesthesia technology
• Surgical instruments
• Hospital training
• Operation technology
• Pharmacology
• Patient monitoring

• ICU Technician Course

Usually, they work in the ICU or intensive care unit and their work is mostly focused on that area only. Though it is not simply their region is specifically for ICU's only. So in this case the job improvements are low.

I would suggest you go with an OT technician as there you will be able to explore and learn more.

Salary point: The salary varies from the level of the hospital and the sector. Government sector employees get better salary mostly ranges in the 20,000- 30,000 per month. Private sector employees usually get lower salaries that lie in 15,000 to 20k mostly.

Hope this answer helps.

Thank you:)

ICU technician is a quite a important role but usually it takes longer to be a ICU technician in order to get established. As the criticallity in ICU patients are high, there are hospitals which offers vacancies with very low pay to the freshers. So if you wish to go for ICU technician course then you must be sure that you will have to earn less for the first two years. Then with time and experience you will get the scope to explore your career. If you want to get into a field with good headstart then I would recommend you to go for the OT technician course.
