Pharmacy Technician Classes Wichita, KS

The Kansas Board of Pharmacy, by law, must register all Pharmacy Technicians within the state. Pharmacy Technicians keep their registration number for life. However, they must renew the registration every two years. The cost for the initial application is $70 and $20 for renewal. The Board Office sends out application forms to persons who are up for renewal. While the board does not require certification, many employers prefer their pharmacy technician employees to have the training and education to execute routine tasks. The classes at community colleges and vocational schools offer at least 240 hours of theoretical and practical training. Classroom lectures typically cover education in pharmacy law and ethics, insurance procedures, dosage calculations, inventory management, pharmaceutical terminology, and pharmaceutical classifications. The clinical component of most programs involves mixing and compounding, stocking medications, entering orders, measuring dosages and maintaining records. Below is a list of campus-based programs that help aspiring Pharmacy Technicians to increase their employment prospects in Wichita, Kansas.
