A full-time job, a family to look after, other life commitments — none of these excuses should prevent you from studying toward a better career. Many pharmacy schools in Texas have courses with flexible schedules, allowing students to fit their studies around their life. Here are some top choices for pharmacy technician programs that include the option of studying part time.
Austin Community College
Taking just two semesters to complete, the pharmacy technician course from Austin Community College includes hands-on laboratory training and an externship in Austin. You can take classes Monday through Thursday in the mornings or the evenings, or you can study whenever it’s convenient for you with the distance learning option, which includes lab work at weekends. At the end of this program, you will be prepared to take the National Pharmacy Technician Certification exam and may also be able to achieve the Sterile Products Preparation certification.

Plus, once you finish your course, you will be equipped with all the skills and knowledge needed to immediately begin working in a pharmacy in Texas.
