Start a vital career in healthcare as a pharmacy technician.

You can launch a rewarding career at the heart of patient care through our Pharmacy Technician program. This online, self-paced course is designed to fit your life, giving you the flexibility to master the field on your own schedule. You will dive deep into the essentials, from reading and interpreting prescriptions to mastering pharmacy terminology and defining the differences between generic and brand-name drugs. By the time you finish, you will have the sharp skills and technical knowledge needed to step confidently into the pharmacy field.

The demand for skilled pharmacy technicians is skyrocketing, fueled by an aging population, a national shortage of registered pharmacists and a constant stream of innovative new medications entering the market. This program ensures you are ready to meet that demand head-on. Successful completers will be eligible to sit for the national Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) exam, a credential that sets you apart in the job market. Whether you envision yourself working in the fast-paced environment of a hospital, a specialized compounding pharmacy or a mail-order facility, your path to a high-demand healthcare career starts here.
