A formalized Pharm Tech course is a waste of money. Most companies will train you themselves. You can study for the certification exam on your own.

: Study mathmatics, health and life sciences in high school. Medical terminology is also helpful. Complete a vocational, ROP, technical or community college certificate program for Pharmacy Technician, typically a 1-year program. : Gain work experience as a pharmacy assistant, while completing your certificate. Pharmacy assistants usually have less complex responsibilities than technicians. They often serve as clerks, cashiers or stock shelves. Experienced assistants often have as easier time finding technician jobs after graduation. Take the National Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam after graduating your certification program. This exam is voluntary, yet will formalize your education and allow employers to know you have a standardized body of knowledge and skills. The passed exam will earn you the title Certified Pharmacy Technician. Keep up with your education and re-certify every two years by completing 10 contact hours of related pharmacy education each year.
