(April 22, 2008) Stanly Community College students recently completed the requirements for the Pharmacy Technician Certificate Program. This course of study is designed to prepare students for national certification with the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board.
Our two-semester program also trains individuals for gainful employment as a pharmacy technician in various pharmacy settings. Students must complete two 90-hour classes: Pharmacy Technician Level I and Pharmacy Technician Level II.
Level I is offered in the fall semester and consists of lecture and lab instruction. Upon successful completion of Level I, students can enroll in the spring semester Level II course, which includes 80 hours of clinical experience in a local pharmacy and 10 hours of national certification exam preparation.
