From one of our recent students:

"In addition to the regular bookwork, I believe the practical application of the skills learned in a hands-on environment increased the overall quality and relevance of the class.

The instructors were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They all work in the Pharmacy field which I believe to be an asset. Their ability to share their knowledge with the class in a way that could be understood was commendable."

Working alongside the pharmacist, technicians consult with clients, fill prescriptions, compound medications and maintain client records.
All predictions indicate that pharmacy technicians will continue to be in high demand for the foreseeable future due to the following factors:

• Continued aging of the global population
• Increases in the number of pharmacies in the marketplace
• The continuous expansion of product lines by pharmaceutical manufacturers

Graduates are eligilbe to write the certification exam and can work in hospital pharmacies in addition to retail pharmacies.
