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.
You are preparing a health-science entrance exam, supporting a laboratory, pharmacy or outbreak-response team in a non-clinical role, or studying alongside a nursing or medical programme and want the microbiology behind infection prevention. A computer and a browser — no bench, no specimens.
Each week pairs one microbiology concept with a simulated bench exercise: you prepare a virtual slide, choose a stain, read a plate and defend your identification. Nothing is cultured for real, nothing is handled, and no result is ever used for a patient. Outbreak weeks connect straight to OpenWHO and Amref Jibu material used in Track H.
| Virtual microscope | Focus, magnify and identify cell shapes and arrangements on simulated slides. |
| Gram stain simulator | Run each reagent step, see what a skipped step does, classify Gram-positive and Gram-negative results. |
| Culture plate reader | Read simulated colonies, haemolysis and antibiotic disc zones; interpret a simple antibiogram. |
| Outbreak transmission model | Change contact rate, hand-hygiene compliance and isolation; watch the simulated curve respond. |
| 1. The microbial world | 1–2 | Bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites; the virtual microscope |
| 2. Infection & immunity basics | 3–4 | Chain of infection, host defences, standard precautions |
| 3. Laboratory methods | 5–7 | Gram stain, culture, antibiogram — all simulated |
| 4. Pathogens of Africa | 8–10 | Malaria, TB, HIV, cholera, Ebola, mpox — biology and transmission only |
| 5. AMR, outbreaks & lab portfolio | 11–12 | Antimicrobial resistance, outbreak model, three graded lab reports |
