I am from Florida and looking to become a pharmacy technician at a retail pharmacy. Florida requires as of Jan 1st of 2011 that Pharm-Techs complete a board approved program or an employers program. I have my PTCB certification but do not want to take a full 40-80 course for 2-3k. Will they hire me and allow me to take their course for registration If i work retail or as clerk?
Is it worth me taking an accredited course on my own before trying to get a job? I would hate to get stuck working retail and getting no pharmacy experience during with my schedule.
Thanks for your help.
