Bengaluru2-Day intensiveWhat is the 2-Day Intensive in Embryo PGT Training?
A focused, hands-on 2-day intensive for embryologists at Vriksh Fertility Academy, Bengaluru. Across two days at the bench it covers Day-3 (cleavage-stage) and trophectoderm (blastocyst) PGT sampling, genetic-lab validation, and PGT sampling setup and cell tubing, with 1:1 expert supervision — so you can add embryo PGT to your skill set without taking a month away from the lab.
The Time Barrier
Why haven't you added embryo PGT yet?
Most PGT training means weeks or months away from your lab — time practising embryologists simply can't take. So the skill keeps getting postponed.
Long courses cost you cases
A month-long program means weeks away from the bench and your patients.
Embryo PGT keeps getting postponed
Without a short option, the skill stays on the 'someday' list year after year.
Your lab still outsources
Until someone is trained, every PGT case still leaves the building.

A 2-day intensive vs a month-long program — what changes?
| A month-long program | This 2-day intensive | |
|---|---|---|
| Time away | Weeks away from your lab | A single weekend on the bench |
| Focus | Broad, general curriculum | Embryo PGT only — nothing else |
| Cases missed | Patients wait while you're away | Back at your bench on Monday |
| Cost | Higher fee and lost income | Focused fee, minimal disruption |
| Outcome | Full retraining from scratch | Embryo PGT added to skills you already have |

Good To Know
Frequently asked questions
The intensive is designed for practising embryologists, ICSI-trained embryologists, IVF lab technicians and lab directors who want to add embryo PGT quickly. Some prior embryology or micromanipulation experience is expected. If you're unsure whether your profile fits, send us an enquiry and our admissions team will advise you.
Yes — because this is a focused 2-day intensive, some prior embryology and micromanipulation experience is expected so we can concentrate on PGT sampling technique. Tell us your background when you enquire and we'll confirm whether the intensive is right for you or suggest a longer program.
It is a hands-on, bench-based intensive. Across both days you work directly at the embryology bench under 1:1 expert supervision, practising PGT sampling technique yourself rather than only observing.
The intensive is built to add embryo PGT to embryologists who already have core bench skills. Two focused days of supervised practice give you a credible starting technique in Day-3 and trophectoderm sampling; like any skill, it strengthens with continued practice in your own lab.
All training is conducted onsite at Vriksh Fertility Academy in Bengaluru, at a live embryology bench.
Yes — it's designed for exactly that. It covers embryo PGT sampling, sample validation and coordination with the genetics lab, so a trained embryologist can help your lab perform PGT in-house instead of outsourcing it.
