ASHP/ACPE Accredited
Our Pharmacy Technician program is modeled against ASHP standards and requirements and has received accreditation by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP)/Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE). This accreditation is the national standard for pharmacy technician training programs. ASHP/ACPE-accredited pharmacy technician training is now required or strongly encouraged by several state Boards of Pharmacy. More and more students are looking to find programs that fulfill this requirement.
