Guide to Pharmacy Technician Schools

A pharmacy technician helps a licensed pharmacist prepare and dispense medication to patients. Currently, there are very few formal pharmacy technician training programs in the United States. Most training for this type of job is done through an employer in an on-the-job setting. However, the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board and the Institute for the Certification of Pharmacy Technicians offer national certification exams. Technicians are required to become recertified every two years. To find out more about this program, use our search tool at the top of the page.
