Program Reviews

The courses were very informative, and the videos were filled with great information however, the length of the videos and courses made it difficult to stay engaged and absorb all of the information.

I struggle greatly with memorizing multiple things however there have been so many resources that helped me make sure I fully understood everything. I love the option to go back and watch previous videos along with retaking exams! I had so much support and resources given to me, it was all so impressive and made things easier even in the hard parts.

Personally, I believe that this website was amazing, and the only reason I did not give it five stars was because they change it too often.

Loved this course!

I really enjoyed this online pharmacy course. The video lectures were excellent and covered very important information pertaining to pharmacy. I appreciated the additional optional readings that were recommended — they helped me better understand the material.

I also liked how the instructor reaches out to students with questions and checks in to see how they’re doing. The live lectures were a nice option (though I could never catch them due to my schedule).

One suggestion: I’d love to see more fun games added to help remember the material. I especially enjoyed playing the games for the medication chapter, and think more of those would be really helpful.

Overall, a great course!

A friend referred me to this program and it's been great. Between this and YT study guides,
There's a lot of resources available with each chapter.
I think when I take tests I just second guess myself and mess up but that's part of learning.
I love the fact that there's virtual classes and support is great.

I worked in the pharmacy as a cashier, but this course helped me more than working there it is very detailed and easy to follow and I feel very prepared for what's next.

I found the end of chapter review exams to be extremely helpful. The questions are actually based on the content that was covered in the modules and you can go back and retake exams which is a good study tool for preparation to taking the PTCE.

the course is very comprehensive

i loved how this was all set up. it made it easier to learn.

Helpful and knowledgeable course!

this was so incredibly helpful to be able to do while working in a retail pharmacy setting and getting the hands on experience!

This was a great exam prep

Best program ever

Thanks for this course I am dreaming pursuing may career at medical field.

I loved this course and being able to do it at my own pace! It was a great learning experience and provided the information needed to pass the exam.

great info

I enjoyed taking this course, Super helpful, and overall made me feel super ready for the test.

I would have liked to be able to print slides and note cards for study tools, otherwise I found the course to be very beneficial.

Feel like the content of the courses were helpful, and thorough. Feel like it condenses a lot of information down into what is important to know. As long as you study and keep going over information, I feel like you should be prepared for the tests.

The course does a good job at covering everything you need to know. 5/5

This course is very beneficial I really liked all the videos. Everything was easy to understand. The only thing I would have liked is if there was a way to print off some extra study quizzes.

Well-organized materials and concise explanations make it easy to study efficiently.

To be honest I live in nyc & this was my first online course I did while working a full time job , I didn't know what to expect & it turned out to be a great course for beginners ( the flexibility < all the practice books and readings etc ) . The material was well thought out and planned but also straight to the point on subjects we needed to understand for ptce . I had some hick up in between but now I believe I have more knowledge then I did before and confident I will pass .

I work in a pharmacy which made this easier but I feel like it would have been more difficult if I didn't. I'm happy to hear it's been updated.

good program but can be long, it is a lot to balance for someone working at least 40 hours a week

This platform has been easy to use and has a great way of explaining all the information you need to know for the PTCE. Lots of sources being used and other ways to learn using readings, flashcards, exams etc..

Great

The material was straight forward and easy to understand. This course is a great tool to prepare you for the PTCE.

This course was very insightful and helped me to better understand what happens in the world of pharmacy. It has taught me what I need to know to be a pharmacy tech and also information that will help me in any medical field. This course has helped me to better understand the world of medicine and how medications interact, work and what they are used for. The videos and the readings were full of necessary information that was formatted in a way that was easy to understand. I also like the addition of the slideshows as I could watch the video first and just listen then go back through the slideshow to take my notes. The optional readings, assignments and flashcards also helped me to better understand the information I was taking in.

I really liked this program, I think that the information was presented well and easy to follow while being explained adequately. I like that it was self paced and that I could pick it back up at any time I wanted. I think that all of the modules were a good length as well.

When I started this course, I was optimistic, hopeful, and eager. This was back in the start of April 2025, and I had a promising career opportunity at a nearby hospital. I proceeded through the first few chapters of the module swimmingly, taking notes, paying attention, and looking forward to what is to come. Then, came the Top 200 Drugs.

To be frank, this ruined me. I always have loved learning and expanding my mindset, but this was something else. It was mostly blunt memorization of chemical compound names and product names, which are not prone to being easily digested. This was genuinely the hardest subject matter I have had in my life, and it stonewalled me from wanting to do any more progress for months. It wasn't until mid July, when I was in a more comfortable environment with someone I loved, who was able to support me into overcoming this wall. It took many days, much focus, and a lot of hours, but I was able to finally overcome this huge obstacle, and I never felt better. After this, the rest of the module was very straightforward and digestible, and I was happy to go back to learning and being intrigued in the topics at hand, finally finishing off today, the start of September.

As for the course itself, I was pleased. Dr. Emmel explained things clearly and thoroughly, and appears to have thorough passion and knowledge on subject matters. I appreciate him emphasizing human emotion and care, something I have personal passion for. The slides were clearly presented and full of proper information, and I never struggled on any chapter outside of the Top 200.

I give 4 stars because I don't think anything is perfect, but also due to a sort of personal trauma I had from the start of this course, of no fault of quality or anything. If you can conquer and overcome and steel yourself through the Top 200 Medications, it will be smooth sailing towards the finish line of becoming a certified Pharmacy Technician. Thank you for the course; I hope it'll serve my future well!

This course is very comprehensive and also quite affordable. Dr. Emmel is a truly motivational and a compassionate person who teaches with insight and wisdom in his field. I found his explanations on Math particularly refreshing. Makes it simple, provides all necessary tools and has a penchant for teaching. Well rounded and I feel with the recommended materials prepped fully.

The course overall is very well organized and detailed. I liked how Dr. Emmel lectures in each modules and gave examples and tips of. what to expect on the PTCE and as a pharmacy technician. The only thing I think would of helped is if the lecture materials would be easy to convert into Powerpoint or some type of note-taking tool that would save a lot of time, but I didn't mind writing out all the notes and then listen to the lecture videos and writing side notes. Overall, I am satisfied with the program.

For my first exposure to the world of pharmacy, I find the material in this course to be extremely helpful, especially the chapters about different medications and patient safety. The video presentations were easy to digest as they prioritize the important aspects of each topics without overwhelming the viewer with too much information. Additionally, the required readings helped students further understand the subject by providing more context about the applications of certain skills like compounding and professionalism. If I have to list one favorite thing from the entire course, it would be the study activities as they greatly helped me with my memorization skills. That being said, however, the course isn't without any flaws. For one, the practice exams were shockingly easy in my opinion, and apparently nowhere near the difficulty of the actual PTCE according to most of the students. I also noticed a bunch of typos in both the practice exams and the Generic-Brand typing activity, the latter of which I already informed the instructor of and were fixed right away. Despite these issues, Dr. Emmel was very nice and pretty much addressed all of my concerns regarding the course. Overall, if you're looking to become a pharmacy technician or wanting to get a taste of the field before pursuing pharmacy school, Pharmacy Tech Scholar℠ is a good start!

The way the program is set up make it easier to understand everything.

Thank you so much.

over all course is very helpful

ALL THE TOPICS IS VERY HELPFUL

Was a well-built course covering everything needed for both the exam and for an actual workplace job. The exams helped so much in showing how things will be worded on the exam and also helping cover why a question is wrong. How the modules are grouped also helped in covering certain topics, especially medication names being done first as they were the most difficult.

I enjoyed the delivery and process of this course. It was helpful to have a professional speak on these topics instead of just having me read the slides as it provides multiple avenues of comprehension and understanding for all types of learning styles. The tests after each chapter were good to do because it helps retain the inforamtion instead of just waiting until the end. Great program!

The curriculum of the course was well written and easy to follow. I liked that it had different learning modules to use for different learner types. I liked that you could go over the lecture numerous times if needed (Math Calculations) and you could stop the lecture video if needed to take your notes. I liked that it was an open book test but there was a timer attached to testing so you needed to know your information as the national certification test will be timed. I utilized the open book where I could go back and check my answer once I answered to question to see if I was correct or not. For me this helps me retain my knowledge base. I liked that the course was constructed like other medical-type courses I have taken with chapter tests and then a unit test. All in all I think if you are an independent learner and have the ability to self-pace yourself through a course of study you will do well with this course of study.

There's great study material and interactive. You can ask questions, go to an only class, etc. Lots of practice tests, and not the same questions over and over so it doesn't get repetitive (this is for the end of module exams)

This course contains A LOT of information which is presented in a thoughtful way which keeps you engaged and helps you to feel prepared for each quiz and ultimately, the PTCE. I will say that it takes a lot of dedicated time spent not only completing the course itself, but also completing the required AND recommended readings. At the end of the course I do feel confident in my ability to step into this field and be a competent, professional member.

I really love this Pharmacy Technician online program! would recommend this to anyone that wants to get their license . Reason I love this program is because very informative and helpful which individual section .

This course was extremely helpful and exactly what I needed coming into pharmacy with no prior knowledge!

So happy to find a Pharmacy Tech program to work with my schedule! It was helpful and provided all I need to take the PTCE.

It's filled with information that are really interesting plus would like to have some more additional help for certain chapters but overall really good

This course has been instrumental for me as I prepare to take the PTCE and hopefully obtain my Pharmacy Technician License. The lectures were very informative, and the supplemental readings have been incredibly helpful in filling in the gaps in my knowledge.

This course has prepared me well to enter the pharmacy field with confidence and a strong understanding of what the job entails. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in becoming a pharmacy technician.

I like how the course was structured and it was easy to navigated with the different modules and chapters for each area of information we needed to know for the PTCE. Slides and information were well organized and easy to follow. I think something that would help improve the course was some more interactive activities. I liked the flash cards and I also liked the little worksheets like the cross word puzzle for the medications, I wish there were work sheets like that for the other modules as well.

Quick way to get an understanding for the PCTB

This course was amazing, super easy to understand, I have ADHD and struggle to pay attention, but this course kept me grounded with its simple explanations of every topic. Wish me luck on the exam!

The program is very well designed. Dr. Emmel explains concepts clearly, and the material is well-organized and thorough. For those who work or prefer to learn at their own pace, Pharmacy Tech Scholar℠ is an excellent resource. I highly recommend it to anyone preparing for the PTCE.
