Pharmacy Technician Courses & Education Programs

In Rancho Cordova and Fairfield Campuses.

A Pharmacy Technician works intimately with a licensed pharmacist to facilitate the increasing demands of patients needs in pharmaceuticals. A properly trained and well-educated technician will work directly with the public, meeting and greeting patients to establish records; communicate findings through industry-driven computer software; have a working knowledge of prescriptions, as well as the body and its functions; and process medication requests meticulously and with confidence.

The demand for Pharmacy Technicians is projected to grow much faster than the national average for most occupations 25 percent and higher over the next decade, with a previously stated employment in 2008 of over 381,000 individuals!*

In the Pharmacy Technician Program, you will delve into in-depth instruction that is evolving from the role of making transactions at the pharmacy, to filling prescriptions with preciseness. All instruction will be given in the comfortable surroundings of an InterCoast campus and in the presence of instructors who care to teach you their best so that you may give your best to your employer and society in return.
