This nationally recognized Pharmacy Technician online
course and training program teaches the skills needed to
gain employment as a Pharmacy Tech in either the
hospital or retail setting. The objective of the
Pharmacy Technician Program is to provide graduates with
the skills and knowledge that will enable them to
qualify for entry-level positions in pharmacies as well
as prepare for national certification. This program
pairs students with an instructor for one-on-one
assistance and includes a forty-hour externship. All
materials are included. This online certificate program
is offered in partnership with major colleges,
universities, and other accredited education providers.
Gatlin Education Services has reached a nationwide
agreement with several pharmacies that will give our
Pharmacy Technician students an important leg up in the
job market. These pharmacies will offer their renowned
externship programs to students taking Gatlin’s Pharmacy
Technician online career training program provided basic
qualifications are met.
These pharmacies will supply externs with 20 to 40 hours
of hands-on experience that includes assisting
pharmacists with prescriptions, answering patient
questions about medications and a bevy of administrative
duties.
In order to qualify for an externship, you will have to
pass a drug screening, obtain general liability
insurance, and background check/employment verification
will be required.
*Disclaimer: An externship with these pharmacies is not
guaranteed. All students must apply to the program and
complete the prerequisite criteria before being accepted
into the program. Positions in the externship program
are contingent on availability at each pharmacy
location. Students are also allowed the option to set up
their own externship at any other retail or hospital
facility or you may complete a research assignment in
lieu of completing an externship.
This course is rated Five Stars (out of 5) by our Students!
“The online format allowed me to study to be a Pharmacy Technician while being employed, and also to work on the course at my own pace. I appreciate this as I live three hours away from any campus that offered this course.”
