At the completion of the course, which may be as little as 12 weeks, you will be invited to sign up for a test through a national certifying agency which will administer their test (PTCB) Pharmacy Technician. The Certification Board is based in Washington, DC. California and Texas require an Associate Degree, New York requires a PTCB certificate.
Pharmacy Technicians may work in nursing homes, community pharmacies, chain drug stores, mail order pharmacies, hospitals, and often insurance companies. Many places, and many options.
To become a pharmacist, one would need to develop a strong mastery of math and science, and pass an entrance exam, (PCAT) Pharmacy College Admissions Test.
