Centennial College’s Pharmacy Technician program offers a dynamic curriculum based on the National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities (NAPRA) competencies.

The learner-centred environment fostered in this pharmacy diploma program will allow students to gain the scope of skills needed for the profession.

What You’ll Learn

  • Receiving, ordering and managing inventory
  • Preparing, dispensing and compounding medications
  • Interacting with patients and a variety of health care providers
  • Assisting in the provision of pharmaceutical care and pharmacy services

This Pharmacy Technician program will help to provide knowledge of pharmacology as well as aseptic technique, pharmaceutical calculations, compounding, inventory control, and community and institution dispensing skills.

Students enjoy a mix of classroom and hands-on practical laboratory experiences at Centennial’s Morningside Campus, which features three state-of-the-art labs that include community dispensing, institution/long-term care and sterile preparations.

Learners have the opportunity for three work experience placements. The program’s field placement partners help it to ensure CCAPP standards and pharmacy competencies are met by providing opportunities through which they will attain a minimum of 160 hours in each hospital/institutional and community pharmacy setting.

This School of Community and Health Studies program will also focus on inspiring students to embrace the philosophy of lifelong learning by pursuing the Regulated Pharmacy Technician designation. To practice as a pharmacy technician in Ontario, students will be required to complete the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada exam and register with the Ontario College of Pharmacists according to its licensing requirements.

Additional ancillary fees for career services, health and counselling, athletics, student ID cards, and more may apply.
