CPht
Im not positive,BUT, I have heard that you can work in a pharmacy for a year and then go and take your testing to get certified. You dont make as much as an already certified technician but you'll get a raise once you pass your certification. Call around and find out.
If you are a LICENSED Pharmacy Technician, you can have CPht after your name ... If you are an unlicensed Pharmacy ASSISTANT, then no.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics the estimated mean annual wage for Pharmacy Technicians as of May 2008 is, $28,500. This would amount to $13.70 per hour.
We are called technologists...not technicians.
Pharmacy technicians can also work in hospital systems, labs, and pharmaceutical sales.
