The Pharmacy Technician (PhT) program is a PTCB-Recognized Education/Training Program. The program will provide students with the basic competencies needed for employment as a pharmacy technician in retail and hospital settings. Pharmacy Technician courses are taught fully online, and a clinical internship will be completed at an assigned clinical site. Pharmacy technician graduates are eligible to take the Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam offered by the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB). Graduates who pass the exam will earn the Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT) credential. Eligibility requirements for the CPhT credential are solely determined by PTCB, and are subject to change at any time. PTCB is an independent organization. AIMS does not guarantee certification/registry exam eligibility. Pharmacy technicians in New Jersey are required to register with the State Board of Pharmacy.
