Register NOW for the
Pharmacy Technician Career Training Program!
You can prepare for a career in pharmacy, beginning as a pharmacy technician. This training is available in two convenient formats — an online-only course and as a blended classroom/online course.
There is an increasing demand from pharmacies for well-trained pharmacy technicians, especially those who have passed the certification exam. This course provides both job training and preparation for the national Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam. It focuses on the retail pharmacy industry and emphasizes the importance of customer service. Those students who wish to work in hospital or veterinary pharmacies will generally receive additional on-the-job training specific to those environments.
The course is designed to prepare students for the national Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam (PTCE). Classroom sessions are conducted on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at the college’s Albany Extension Center, located at 30 North Russell Road, Albany.
Required online sessions are scheduled for each Wednesday, with both the students and the instructor participating independently, but simultaneously.
The optional internship is comprised of six sessions at a pharmacy, and 100 % attendance is required for course completion.
Please note: Participation in the internship is contingent upon passing a background check. Students in this training program must not have any felonies or drug-related criminal offenses on their records.
