Your Training is the Link Between Prescriptions and Patient Care.

The life of a pharmacy technician requires extensive knowledge and close attention to detail. Some of the duties a pharmacy technician can expect to perform on any given day are:

• Packing and labeling medications
• Dispensing medications
• Preparing refills and new prescriptions
• Tracking inventory
• Processing insurance claims
• Repackaging bulk medications
• Providing customer service

You’ll also need to communicate and work well with others as you assist pharmacists and patients. You may have additional duties specific to your workplace if you work in a special environment.

As a pharmacy technician, you won’t just land a job—you’ll open the door to a career full of purpose and possibility:

• A Rewarding Career: Whether a customer is sick and in need of medicine or have prescription-related questions they just can’t find the answers to, a pharmacy technician can make a difference in people’s lives.
• Career Advancement Opportunities: Pharmacy technicians need a wide range of knowledge. Because of this, becoming one may open a world of possibilities for your future as you gain experience and continue your education.

HERE’S WHERE YOUR PHARMACY TECHNICIAN TRAINING STARTS – COURSE BY COURSE.

From Classroom to Pharmacy Counter,
Start Your Journey Here.

As part of the Pharmacy Technician program, students gain valuable real-world experience through an externship in a local pharmacy or healthcare facility. This hands-on training helps reinforce classroom learning while giving students the opportunity to build professional connections and earn strong job references. With 200 hours of externship in a working pharmacy, you’ll be trained, tested, and career-ready before your diploma is even in hand.

Our Pharmacy Technician program prepares students to support pharmacists in a variety of roles, from medication preparation and inventory management to patient communication and insurance processing. Students are trained using industry-relevant tools, including PioneerRX software, which simulates real pharmacy workflows. This combination of practical skills and professional guidance helps students feel confident and career-ready as they enter the workforce.

Midpoint Assessment & Career Planning

Around the program midpoint, students complete a career assessment. Coordinators use this to guide personalized planning and keep students on track toward their goals.

Resume Development (60 Days Before Graduation)

Resume building begins 60 days before graduation. Students receive templates and one-on-one support to craft polished, job-ready resumes.

Mock Interviews & Professionalism Coaching

Before clinicals, students participate in mock interviews and receive feedback. This helps sharpen communication skills and builds confidence in professional settings.

Professional Seminars & Career Development

Students attend four seminars on job readiness, professionalism, and workplace expectations. These sessions prepare students to confidently enter the workforce.

Unitech Training Academy cannot guarantee or promise employment; however, reasonable efforts will be made to assist the student in securing employment. Unitech provides career services for all graduates who seek employment. Who will be hired depends on the employer. The employer is influenced by factors such as training, character, attendance/punctuality, personality traits, favorable appearance, work ethic, dependability, and the ability to easily converse with others. The success or failure of the placement efforts of the school will be influenced to a great extent by the attendance, academic records, and personal appearance of the graduate.
