BECOME A PHARMACY TECHNICIAN
Robertson’s Pharmacy Technician program at our Calgary campus will prepare you to be a vital member of any pharmacy team. We take a hands-on approach to teaching and this provides our students with real experience and equips them with the skills necessary to succeed. Robertson College's Calgary campus provides small class environments and this allows students a greater opportunity to ask questions, participate in discussion and have instructors who actually know who they are. At Robertson, you’re an important individual, not a nameless spectator.
At the end of your program, you will participate in an eight-week work practicum. Once your practicum has been completed, Robertson’s Career Services will work with you to ensure you find employment after you graduate. Whether it’s after grad or twenty-five years down the road, Robertson’s Career Services will be there to help you with your career.
Career opportunities for Pharmacy Technicians exist in retail, institutional and long term care pharmacies across Alberta.
To explore the possibilities of your new career - arrange a no-stress, no-pressure consultation today by filling out the form on the top right!
You’ll be glad you did!
