You don’t need to go to school to become a tech. Most pharmacies will train you. The average salary of a tech is about $13 per hour.
I don’t believe you have to go to school to become a certified Pharmacy Tech. I live in Oklahoma and I have worked as a Pharmacy Tech. I was not certified but I could have taken the certification test if I wanted to do so. The thing you have to do is get your foot in the door and get someone to hire you without any experience, once you are working you can become certified and there is not any schooling that would be required. I’m not sure if it is the same in every state though.
Pharmacy is fast pace and challenging sometimes but I love it. I am currently in Pharmacy School so I am working as an intern now but being a Tech was good too. We as Pharmacists really appreciate good, hardworking, knowledgeable, responsible technicians working with us in the pharmacy. It would be a good idea to try to get into a pharmacy and let them train you because all pharmacies work differently and there is nothing as good as on the job training. Good luck!
