Pharmacy Technician Classes - What You'll Learn

You probably didn’t know that it takes less than a year to train to become a Pharmacy Technician.

A typical 8 month program at Everest College includes pharmacy training in:

  • Pharmacy administration
  • Pharmaceutical calculations
  • Anatomy and physiology
  • Digestive, respiratory and reproductive systems
  • Medical terminology
  • Pharmacology health care systems

What makes Everest College’s pharmacy technician program great is that the education is focused on hands-on training.

Pharmacy technician students don’t just sit in a chair and listen to a lecture; they actually start learning dosage calculations and measurements by doing it.

Everest College believes that the best way to train future Pharmacy Technicians is by allowing them to learn by doing—not simply sitting in a classroom.

Everest College also believes it’s important for Pharmacy Technician students to get real-world experience. So the Pharmacy Technician classes not only include hands-on training, but most programs also include externships.

Pharmacy Technician externships give students a chance to practice their skills on the job. This means they get course credit for actually working in a pharmacy. And the best part about this is that Everest College sets up the externship for you.
