I just became a Pharmacy Technican and I wanted to get IV certified. II heard U of H and HCC offer classes but I'm not sure how to go about doing this.

Thanks

I have been where you are!! U of H no longer offers their IV certification course. HCC is integrated with the pharmacy tech program. So, the best option I found was the Sterile products cert at NPTA. There are 9 chapters in the book to read and take the quizzes online, and after you finish those there are 2 days hands on training at their training center in N. Houston. I took this course this past January and it was great, the instructor was nice and he always helped and answered questions. It is however $698 for non-NPTA members and $648 for members. I think their course is one of the more preferred by employers. http://www.pharmacytechnician.org/sterile/

The NPTA is more preferred by employers than the IV course at HCC?
How so?
