This comprehensive, fully online 134-hour course will prepare students to enter the pharmacy field and take the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) exam. The program includes a graded final exam to help prepare students for the PTCB exam. Both the exam and textbook are included in the cost.

This national certification program enables pharmacy technicians to work more effectively with pharmacists to offer safe and effective patient care and service. Students who complete this program successfully, receive national certification. For more information contact Laura McCarthy at laura.mccarthy@ctstate.edu or 860-738-6351.
