The Pharmacy Tech program consists of crafty competencies, dazzling drugs, math mania, candy crush compounding and tidbits of tabletop technology. Students learn components from each section. They receive a certification detailing customer conduct and communication skills, which are defined as “soft skills”, the foundation on which you build relationships.
