have anyone taken the pharmacy technician class from the ROP??

if anyone has taken the pharmacy technician class from the ROP or Grossmont Adult School pls let me know if the program is any good. thx.

First off paying 10,000 is stupid to pay for the same class you can get for free through ROP. I only except externships from ROP. I think ROP is the best choice.

Hi Brenda. Thanks for the response. May I ask you why you only accept externships from ROP? Also do you work in a San Diego hospital setting? Just wondering where ROP students go for their externships. Thanks.

I just completed the 13 week Pharm Tech program through Vista Adult School which cost $30 to sign up plus the additional cost of your work/study book which was approximately $90 through Barnes and Noble. The program did NOT have an internship so now nearly ALL of the 42 people who attended and finished the minimum hours of class time are sc---ed. No one will hire a pharmacy tech who has NO EXPERIENCE. However, the other programs which take 8 to 11 months to complete are way overrated and ridiculously expensive. Anyone who reads and studies the NPTC exam review workbook which is available at most bookstores, can take the national exam without taking the Pharmacy Technician courses. YES, it is true!!!!

But you are forgetting the fact that to get the California license you need at least 240 hours of formal classroom instruction, as required by the CA Board of Pharmacy. Having the CPhT license alone is not enough for you to work in California or anywhere else. Remember too, that the national license is NOT yet mandatory or required as of the date of this writing and may take several years before it will be. You still need the CA license to work as an RXT, which means you need a certificate or diploma from either an accredited school or even, as you advocate, the ROP.

Is ROP accredited?
