Under the supervision of a Registered Pharmacist, Pharmacy Technicians work in hospitals, home-infusion pharmacies, community pharmacies, and other healthcare settings. This non-credit course is designed to teach students the knowledge and skills necessary to practice as a Pharmacy Technician in a retail setting.  The course will consist of a 60-hour, instructor-led class, followed by an 80-hour externship (optional) in an actual pharmacy setting. The course will prepare students to sit for the National Certification Exam to become PTCB certified.

Until June 30, 2024, Middlesex Community College is able to offer grant funding for this program for those who are unemployed or underemployed.  If you are interested in grant funding or want to learn more, please e-mail career_training@middlesex.mass.edu.
