How Our Pharmacy Technician Course Work
ASHP/ACPE Accreditation Candidate
Our Pharmacy Technician Professional program is modeled against ASHP standards and requirements and has received candidate status for the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP)/Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) accreditation credential. 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. Application for accreditation does not guarantee accreditation.

Proud of Our Graduates
In 2018, Sergio decided to enroll in NYICD’s online pharmacy technician course. The self-paced program allowed him to get started the instant he enrolled, to work at his own pace with the help of his mentor Tom, and to gain real-world experience with an externship at one of NYICD’s partner pharmacies, CVS. Soon after completing his NYICD course, Sergio was offered a position at the same CVS he had externed at.

It's a learn at your own pace school, and I love that I can take care of my kids during the day and then take my time at night doing school work. It takes the pressure off of me to meet certain deadlines with homework or tests and I can just focus on learning the information and making sure I have enough time for my family as well.
