Pharmacy Tech Scholar℠^SM Reviews

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.
