A high level of organizational and client service skills is required to navigate the customer-driven front lines, as well as the behind-the-scenes operations of pharmacies.

With a pharmacy technician assistant certificate from CHCP, you will be eligible to take the Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam and apply for a job as an entry-level pharmacy technician.
