Pharmacy Technician (PhT)

Prepare for the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board exam!

Pharmacy Technicians do more than just fill prescriptions. They are the Pharmacist’s right hand. As a valuable member of the pharmacy team, they develop and maintain relationships with customers, maintain records, respond to requests of patients and healthcare providers and provide support for the successful operation of a pharmacy.

In this 13-week certificate program, students are prepared for the national Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) exam, the credential preferred by our local employers.
