Pharmacy Technician Training Schools and Salary Review

There are two underlying factors you need to consider when choosing a pharmacy technician school or training program.

The first is the certification and licensing process of the school you will attend.

The second is how any particular school will help you to get a job.

With those two things in mind, here are 6 main factors in deciding the right pharmacy tech training program for you:

1. Accreditation
2. Certification & Licensing Procedures
3. Classroom Material Taught
4. Hands-On Experience
5. Business Relationships
6. Cost

All of these factors matter in choosing a pharmacy technician school. But you always want to consider the attributes of a school that will help you find a job above all else.
