There are many trade schools and community colleges that offer the program of Pharmacy Technician that usually lasts anywhere between ten months and a year-and-a-half time sequence. The course often covers basic chemistry, biology, anatomy, as well as pharmacology which is the study of the actual manufacture of medicine. You won't be studying the advanced format of that topic however, that is reserved for those students who are actually going to school to become a pharmicist. When you graduate, you become a certified pharmacy technician and can work at local pharmacies, hospitals, drug stores, or even in the military.
Best of luck with your studies!

You just need certification.
Some pharmacies, like Eckerd's, do sort of intern programs where you work your way up from cashier to pharmacy tech. But you really can't make the good money and get the title unless you go through a course, which usually the pharmacy pays for. And then you'll be certified.
Of course you could take the course at a community college or something like that, but it would probably cost alot more money, and take up much more of your time. Besides, it's best to have the experience as well, don't you think?

There are different levels of tech education. Usually you can go to one of the big pharmacy chains and they will teach you and eventually you can take an exam to get nationally certified. If you go on the web site for your states' board of pharmacy, you can get the specifics for the state you live in.
