    The Pharmacy Technician Certificate program teaches the skills needed to gain employment as a Pharmacy Tech in either the hospital or retail setting. Medical and pharmaceutical terminology will be introduced, and basic anatomy related to the pharmacology of medications will be a major component of the coursework along with pharmaceutical calculations. This program provides students the necessary information required to pass the National Certification Exam offered by the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board.

    As part of this program, students are required to complete a Virtual Externship. You will also have an option to perform hands-on clinical rotations (also called an externship). To participate in the retail externships, you must apply and fulfill all state and local pharmacy requirements.  This will include a background check and drug screen.  There is no guarantee for externship placement.  Please see the View the course syllabus for more information.
    Prerequisite: In order to sit for the national certification exam, candidates must have a high school diploma or equivalent; therefore, it is recommended that students have this before enrolling for this program. No healthcare or medical office work experience is required. You should be proficient in keyboarding (approximately 35 words per minute), have a basic understanding of a word-processing computer program (Microsoft Word is recommended), and have a command of English grammar and punctuation. Exam fee is included.

    Requirements: This program can be taken on either a Mac or PC, however, most medical offices currently use PCs.  Click here to download Adobe Acrobat Reader and Adobe Flash Player.
