About Us

Pharmacy Technician Enterprises, Inc. is dedicated to providing the technical and practical knowledge necessary to:

  • Obtain an entry-level position as a pharmacy technician.
  • Become a Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT) by successfully passing the National Certification Exam administered by the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) and/or the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB).
  • All of our instructors are state-licensed pharmacists as well as state licensed teachers and Registered Health Care Educators (RHE's). This course will cover such topics as drug delivery systems, medical terminology, generic and trade names of drugs, dosage forms, interpreting orders, storage conditions, inventory, legal and financial issues, and pharmaceutical calculations. In addition, we offer our students practical training in dispensing, IV preparation, and practice certification exams to enable them to get certified, demand higher salaries, and start working immediately! Pharmacy technicians who can prepare intravenous (IV) medications are extremely marketable and demand higher starting salaries in hospitals, home infusion companies, and retail pharmacies — YOU CAN'T GET THIS FROM AN ONLINE COURSE!

The Occupational Outlook Handbook published by the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics has outlined many of the requirements, duties, and job outlooks for pharmacy technicians. Click on their link above for more information. In the Northeast, particularly in the New York Metropolitan area, pharmacy technicians earn an average of $15–20 an hour or more, and the bonuses, incentives, and salaries keep increasing as the demand for trained technicians steadily increases! The ever-aging population, advancement in technology, development of new drug therapies, and the shifting of the pharmacist's roles from dispensing to clinical monitoring and counseling has created a desperate need for trained pharmacy technicians in all health care settings. The Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics has predicted that the need for pharmacy technicians will increase more than 32 percent in the next eight years! And, Certified Pharmacy Technicians (CPhT's) earn an average of 23 percent more than non-certified pharmacy technicians!

The National Healthcareer Association (NHA) and the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB)are both national non-governmental agencies that offer Certification and the prestigious title of CPhT to any pharmacy technician who successfully passes their exam. Since Pharmacy Technician Enterprises is an approved training and certification site for the NHA, their exam will be administered on the last day of classes of each session, allowing students to receive certification almost immediately!
