This is an all-inclusive 14-week Pharmacy Technician program.  This program has two options: entirely online, or our new live via ZOOM class that meets weekly. 

Pharmacy Technician is one of the fastest growing jobs in healthcare today. In this course, you will learn everything from the role of the technician in the pharmacy setting, to the basic sciences at the core of pharmacy practice, to preparing for the PTCB exam. You will learn complete drug information, including proper names, spelling and pronunciation, drug class, generic and trade names, route of administration, dosage and more for hundreds of drugs. You will be able to identify pills on sight with pill photos, gain a better understanding of how certain drugs work within the body with a concise review of relevant anatomy and physiology, and stay up-to-date with cutting-edge pharmacy practice with the latest information on new drugs, regulations, HIPAA guidelines and safety procedures.  All materials are included in the fee, as well as the National Certification (CPhT) Exam fee.  Payment plans available.  This is a live online course meeting once a week.  This course is also available on demand online.
