As for on-the-job training (generally lasting three to 12 months), the majority of programs let students gain clinical experience during this time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some states let students gain on-the-job training without being enrolled in a postsecondary education program. One option is to gain clinical experience at a medical center or an approved pharmacy, while another is to complete training at a retail drugstore the school has partnered up with.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before being able to work, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">national pharmacy technician certification<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is required by several states. Keep in mind that even in the states where it is not required to be certified, the majority of employers will exclusively hire technicians who are certified by the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) or the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the NHA requires potential candidates to have a minimum of one year of experience working as a pharmacy technician or to complete a training program, the PTCB requires students to pass a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pharmacy technician certification exam<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Overall, both of these organizations require students to possess a high school diploma.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pharmacy technicians can become specialized by choosing to work only for a retail drugstore chain. These professionals need to finish specialized training to work as general pharmacy technicians, central pharmacy operations technicians, or as community pharmacy technicians.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, pharmacy technicians are required to pass a recertification exam every two years in order to maintain certification.<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Advancement in <\/b><b>Pharm Tech Careers<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are plenty of opportunities for advancement in this healthcare field.

In other words, employment for these professionals is expected to increase more rapidly than the national average. This attributes to job openings to advance medicine being utilized to combat illnesses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, the advances in medicine leading to brand-new medications are also expected to contribute to the growth of the industry and increase the demand for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pharm tech positions<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Job Prospects for Pharmacy Technicians<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like previously mentioned, potential candidates employers are looking for are required to have a high school diploma and on-the-job training.
