Pharmacy Technician Program

Learn the knowledge and skills needed to become a Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT), credentialed by the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB), in CCM’s Pharmacy Technician Certification program. Pharmacy technicians work with licensed pharmacists in pharmacies, hospitals, assisted living facilities to properly dispense medications and with insurance companies to ensure the best coverage for the consumer. Through enrolling in the program, students will gain direct connections to apprenticeship and full-time positions.

Committed to excellence in healthcare professional education, CCM offers two ways to achieve certification:

1. Become a Registered Apprentice in our Pharmacy Technician Apprenticeship program. Apprentices complete 150 hours of classroom instruction, earn industry-valued credentials, gain hands-on experience, make a direct connection to an employer and receive competitive wages during a period of additional on-the-job training.

2. Enroll in the intensive 150-hour classroom program (Open Enrollment), if you are unable to commit to a one-year apprenticeship. Prepare to sit for the certification exam.
