Pharmacy Technician Job Opportunities?

Jade Green asked the question:

I’ve almost finished my training to be a Pharmacy Technician. I googled and found a lot of job listings but I can’t seem to find a lot for Techs…there’s a lot for Pharmacists, though. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Answers would be much appreciated…

Jade Green,
Can you recommend GED online schools?

pharmacy tech positions?

upyr1 asked the question:

I’m looking at the pharmacy tech courses at the local community college
I’ve heard some one say pharmacies want to train you or hire some one with two years experience. As I have taken a lot of IT courses and have not found employment the last thing I want is to take a bunch of classes and still not find employment.
don’t give me the link for IT jobs

Thanks,

Pharmacy Tech Certification?

Ashley asked the question:

I am about to enroll in a short pharmacy tech certification course and I have a few questions. Do employers prefer techs that are already certified over ones that they have to train on the job? I will be getting certified through the PTCB, so is that nation-wide certification, or will I need to certify in more than one state (I live within 5 miles of a state line and want the option to work in either state)? And does the more training you have determine your pay?
Thanks

Pharmacy technician license?

tiece20 asked the question:


I have been training as a pharmacy A-tech in WA state, through my work for almost a year now. I have completed my training but with the company where I work also has you attend a class to go over your workbook. They dont have a class scheduled anytime soon and they won’t let me take my test until I attend one. Since I’ve done everything required by the state could I just go somewhere else and take the test??

Pharmacy Technician question?

delphina0723 asked the question:


So how exactly does it work to become a pharmacy tech if you you just study the material and get the certification? Do you have to just learn the skills on the job? Or are there places that let you train beforehand? Anyone done this? Let me know what you did.

I’m currently a senior in high school asking how to be pharmacy technicin if 3 relatives r pharmacist?

Girl Power asked the question:


i’m currently a senior in high school, i’m currently searching for pharmacy school and i found it’s a good thing to have some curricular activities related to pharmacy like shadowing office or workplaces
and i also heard of being a pharmacist technician too
so is pharmacy technician a hands-on training job
if not, i have 3 relatives that are licensed pharmacist
is there anything they can do to help me get that job or help me with employment ?
they live in diff states as me so i can’t really ask them ( just came up with the questions)

Appreciate for any replies

Pharmacy Tech Question?

Katie D asked the question:


Hi all, I am debating on taking a Pharmacy Tech Class at the local community colleg, the class cost close to $1000 and that does not include the test to get certified. I’m wondering if it is possible to work at a local Pharmacy and recieve on the job training then take the test to get certified?

Also if I do not take the classs but get certified through the store I work at, could I move to another state and work with the same certification?

Is there a demand for Pharmacy Techs?
