Pharmacy Technician Schools

It’s important when looking for a Pharmacy Technician school that you choose one that is accredited by the American Society of Health-Systems Pharmacists (ASHP). The ASHP is the only organization in the U.S. that establishes national accreditation and educational standards for schools that offer Pharmacy Technician training. The ASHP provides links to Pharmacy Technician schools located throughout the U.S. that have accredited Pharmacy tech programs.  Once on ASHP’s website, click on your state and then the school you’re interested in.  Most of the schools listed have location and contact information, a program description and hours, tuition costs and a link to the school’s website.  At last count, there were 170 schools on the list. However, ASHP listings for the following states were not available at this time:

Alaska Iowa
Connecticut Massachusetts
Delaware Maine
District of Columbia New Hampshire
Hawaii Oklahoma
Idaho Vermont

For more information, you can check with their Board of Pharmacy to see if they have compiled a list of schools or pharmacies that have training programs.

You’ll also be able to locate approved Pharmacy Technician schools and training on the websites of the states listed below:

Indiana

Louisiana

Maryland

Nevada’s Workforce Investment Agency

Rhode Island State Workforce Investment Office

Utah

Virginia
