Best Answer

There are no standard training requirements for pharmacy technicians, but some States require a high school diploma or its equivalent. Although most pharmacy technicians receive informal on-the-job training, employers favor those who have completed formal training and certification. On-the-job training generally ranges between 3 and 12 months.

It depends on the entrance requirements for the certificate program. Still, you should obtain the GED as quickly as you can. This will be something that continues to hang over your head and will effect your job possibilities. I would urge you to start a GED program immediately. You can start with contacting a high school in your area. They should be able to direct you appropriately.

Yes. Of course, a high-school education is only the beginning of a pharmacist's training. At least 5 years of college-level training are required afterwards.
