Classroom and practical areas of instruction include learning to assist a licensed pharmacist in dispensing medications, maintaining inventory, assessing medication orders, pharmacy billing services and providing customer service. Upon successful completion, the student will be awarded a certificate of completion from University of Texas Arlington and is eligible to sit for the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) exam. Certifying bodies may require documents as proof of employment eligibility.

PLEASE NOTE:
Pharmacy Technician participants are not required to complete an externship in order to be eligible for certification.
As a result, externships are no longer assigned as part of the program. Participants will develop the required skills through structured classroom instruction aligned with certification standards. Participants choosing to complete an externship must independently secure their own placement. Program staff will assist with onboarding after a site has been confirmed.
