RCC Sets Hybrid Pharmacy Technician Course to Begin Sept. 19

Randolph Community College’s Workforce Development and Continuing Education Division will offer a Pharmacy Technician course beginning Saturday, Sept. 19 in a hybrid format, which means a combination of online and in-person class sessions.

This course provides instruction in the technical procedures for preparing and dispensing drugs in the hospital and retail settings under supervision of a registered pharmacist. Topics include drug packaging and labeling, outpatient dispensing, hospital dispensing procedures, controlled substance procedures, inventory control, and non-sterile compounding. Upon completion, students should be able to perform basic supervised dispensing techniques in a variety of pharmacy settings, also being prepared for national certification examination.

The course will run Sept. 19 - Dec. 12 with only four Saturday face-to-face class sessions from 8 a.m.-12 noon. The Saturday classes will meet in the Continuing Education and Industrial Center on the Asheboro Campus.

For potential students who do not have computer access, the College will provide an open computer lab one day a week for students to come to campus and do their online work. The open lab will be available on Thursdays from 5-9 p.m.

Tuition is $180, plus the cost of a book. Some scholarships are available. Students should call RCC at 336-633-0268 to register or for more information.
