I am currently doing my Pharmacy tech program at SCI and I love taking the classes here. Not only am I learning something I love about, but I feel like the experience I am gaining here can more easily help me get a job as a Pharm tech.

I am almost done with the Pharmacy Tech program offered by Penn Foster. I was wondering which exam book they send you at the end of your course. Thanks

I just completed the course and am beginning to study/prep for the PTCB Exam.

I'm also trying to find somewhere to do my externship.

Knowing your state's licensing requirements if any should be your first step.

You might try contacting your local Walgreen's or CVS. It seems like they are always looking for Pharmacy techs, and I believe they have a training program that they put you through, so you could not only find a place for your internship but you may get a job out of the deal, too.

Jeff,

You need to get that information from Penn Foster's career service dept. They should be able to provide you with a list of their internship site.

I saw your posts. My daughter is a pharmacy tech. She worked her Sr. year of High School is a hospital pharmacy (the year before the law went into effect that you had to be certified); took the certification test right after H.S. graduation and passed; and went to work for Walgreen's. She was there for 7 years and was a Sr. Pharmacy Technician. She recently took a job for an insurance company as a pharmacy tech. She has to do so many CEU's each year to retain her certification. I gather there are a lot of different places for pharmacy techs to work; not only in retail or hospital pharmacies. I believe it is a good career to have. Does the Penn Foster material include a review for the pharmacy tech certification? Just curious about that.

Hi Angie,

I just signed up for the Pharmacy Tech Program and my books are on the way. Let me know if you have started and if so, how has it been so far.
