I'm interested in becoming a Pharmacy Tech...
I'm finding the most information on accredited programs, which leads me to assume that there are no college courses for it. Is this the case? If there are college courses, what schools offer them?
For the accredited programs, which one is best?
Thanks!

It's my understanding that you are more likely to get hired, if you have completed some kind of schooling. I don't plan on entering the work force for another two years, and want to be in a position to go straight into it... therefore, I would like to get the schooling done first, to increase my chances.

There's no need for formal education for pharmacy tech. Most pharmacies will train you. After a few months in a pharmacy, you should try to take the certification exam. There are review books for it.
Pharmacy education, for pharmacists, is accredited by the ACPE, American Council for Pharmacy Education.
For pharmacy technicians, it appears programs are certified by the ASHP, American Society of Health System Pharmacists.

I'd ask someone that has the job and get fresh advice. better than your guidance counselors will do for you. I like the idea you'll be employed it's a good choice.
