You don't even need to go to school for it! A lot of people assume you have to go to school to be a pharmacy technician but you don't. It's just a waste of time and money.
When I graduated high school I purchased two pharmacy technician books. One was a math book and the other was general pharmacy technician book (pharmacy law, helping the pharmacist, etc.) You can find both of these books online; there are several to chose from. I studied these books over the summer and then I took the soonest test and passed.
Make you you study though because when I took the test 4 years ago it was about $300 and it took like 4 hours! So you definitely want to pass it and not have to take it over again!
Also, the math is REALLY easy. Even if you weren't a great math student it should affect you too bad. Good luck to you!

In Texas you have to be certified. Just get a review book, and study, then take the exam. The math is not hard; it is just proportions.
