The 2019 PTU curriculums have also been updated to address the training requirement prerequisites effective in 2020 and required by the Pharmacy Technicians Certification Board for applicants to sit for the Pharmacy Technicians Certification Exam.
TRC delivers the highest standard of excellence and value in its accredited remote learning program, tailoring PTU for technicians and employers in hospital, retail, and academic settings.
PTU offers significant cost savings versus brick-and-mortar university and community or technical college programs, which often have less flexibility and limited course variety, andTRC’s high-quality, evidence-based content yields a more affordable option for multi-location and multi-person pharmacy teams than building a stand-alone technician training program.
PTU also offers a low-impact, retail-pharmacy-only program for those organizations that require less investment to meet state-specific standards, and it is one of the only online technician training programs that supports or exceeds the requirements for technician training in 50 states, including Washington D.C. PTU supports employer-designed training curriculums toallow organizations to “right-size” training in accordance with the state requirements where operated.
