You don't need any formal education for become a pharmacy technician.
To become a pharmacist, it will take a minimum of 6 years, 2 years of prereqs and 4 years of pharmacy school.
go to www.studentdoctor.net or www.pharmacist.com

Yes my sister who is 38 years old with two kids and not married just became a pharmacist last year. She worked and went to college for 4 years to get her undergraduate degree then got accepted into a university pharmacy program for another 2 years. Six years total to become a pharmacist. Well worth it though because it has good earning potential.

Get an undergrad degree in Biology or Chemistry. Then you go to Pharmacy School for a few years then you are out and able to be a Pharmacist.

of course you need to attend school for you to become a pharmacy technician or pharmacist... as far as i know, medical schools offer that course...look for a community college or if you can afford,.. look for a private college that offers vocational courses like pharmacy technician.. i hope it helps!

Pull on his wanker, You need a High School Diploma and at least a four year degree and then Pharmacutical Schooling, there are one or two good ones in Philly. Base pay rate is about 75 grand . Now being a sales rep for a pharmacutical company is a much more profitable option and requiers less schooling.

You have to be able to remeber the generic names and none generic names of hundreds of diferent drugs. You do have to go to school but not for very long. I know a persone that did it in about sixs months i think but i am not sure. This job is a job worth looking into as it pays good money and you get to work with drugs.

Er ... you do need to go to school as a basic requirement and then you need a degree in pharmacology. Maybe you could brush up on your writing technique while you're at it?

6 months?
Yeah right.
Try 6 YEARS.
Think of all the drugs that are available. You have to know tons of information about all of them.
