Pharmacy Technician Fundamentals

About this course

In this foundational Pharmacy Technician Career Training Specialization, students will take four courses to master the fundamentals of a career in pharmacy. The first two courses teach how to communicate and engage professionally in any healthcare setting and the necessary knowledge of human anatomy and physiology required for any medical role. Next, students dive into two pharmacy-related courses - Pharmacy Technician Essentials and Pharmacy Dosages & Prescriptions Essentials - to round out their entry-level pharmacy education. IMPORTANT: This specialization is not designed to prepare students for national certification. Enrollees will gain the foundational/fundamental knowledge on subject matter relevant to the profession. However, to gain industry certification, a more comprehensive program must be completed through enrollment via approved/eligible schools such as MedCerts.
