The Pharmacy Technician Certificate Program at Bucks County Community College is a comprehensive, 75 hour didactic course. It will prepare you to enter the pharmacy field in hospitals, home infusion pharmacies, and community pharmacies, working under the supervision of a registered Pharmacist. Upon successful completion, you will be prepared to take the national certification exam by the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB). The exam fee is not included in this course.
Our program may be free for those who qualify for funding via PA CareerLink. An Allied Health Scholarship may be available to offset program costs. For more information on our course offerings and scholarship opportunities, join our mailing list.
