Approved Pharmacy Technician Schools in Washington

The Washington Board of Pharmacy does not keep a list of approved pharmacy technician training programs. Instead, the Board has a list of certain requirements for training and requires the designated program director to sign a certification that the training meets the requirements.

Contact the Board to determine if the pharmacy technician program you are considering will be approved before you enroll.
