STUDENTS

The course is designed to prepare students to successfully pass the National Pharmacy Technician Board Exam and directly enter the field of pharmacy. Instruction is provided by experienced, licensed pharmacists and Technicians who currently practice pharmacy professionally.

Below is a brief explanation of the course and the requirements for enrollment. The course offering is considered "selective admissions", which means that college/university staff will grant admission based on the application and interview. Our commitment is to keep a low teacher-student ratio, therefore, seating is LIMITED. We will only be accepting 25 applicants in each program.

The Pharmacy Technician certification program offers students both theoretical and practical training through hands-on experience. Classes meet two (2) days a week, for three (3) hours each session. Generally, the classes are held on a week night and Saturday mornings. The duration of the course is fourteen (14) weeks and includes preparation for the certification examination administered by the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB). In addition to 84 hours in the classroom, and homework study time, students are required to complete an 80-clock-hour externship experience in order to graduate from the program. The externship serves as working experience, as well as a reference for future employment.

After completion of the class portion of the program, our Class Coordinator will place students in a local pharmacy to gain hands-on experience vital for their success. The location of the pharmacy and the times worked will be based on where and when they can work. The externship is built around a student's busy schedule and will be completed in less than four weeks. Once a student completes the externship, they will receive a certificate of completion from the college/university.
