Pharmacy Tech Scholar Reviews

I highly recommend taking this course to anyone that is looking to attain a pharmacy technician certification. I have been in working the pharmacy for over 11 years. Though this course I have gained more knowledge and a greater appreciation for the job! Dr Emmel, is thorough with his curriculum and is always looking for ways to improve the program. I really appreciated Dr. Emmel getting back to me about my inquiry about the program and being available to answer questions that students have.

Thank you for this course. It was beneficial. Everything is great.

Room for improvement: add more examples in the course in the part of pharmacy calculations. Examples that can be met in an exam or real life.

This course is amazing and truly helpful. I have struggled so much mainly in Pharmaceutical calculations but the way it was explained in this course has helped me a ton on how to solve pharmaceutical equations. Now I feel less anxious about taking the PTCE! Thank you so much Dr. Emmel. You are God sent.

Some things I have learned or re-learned will be very beneficial to my passing the PTCE. I have enjoyed this training.

I enjoyed taking the course, and found it to be very informative. The supplementary topics, like the patient privacy section were quite helpful. But there were just a couple notes I had for feedback. I appreciated the additional activities for studying in the Medications module, but was a little disappointed with the inconsistency. One chapter would have a crossword, one would have a drug-class matching activity, but neither chapter had both. The activities in the Top 200 Drugs chapters also sometimes used drugs that were listed in the required reading but not the lecture slides. I’ve been studying with digital flash cards I had made from the lecture slides, so going back at the end of the course and trying to do those activities actually made me *feel* like I was doing worse with the medications than I actually was. My other note was that I wish there was an easier way to flag an issue with a question in an exam after completing it, apart from contacting Dr. Emmel directly. I had one instance of an Expiration Date question in the Pharmacy Calculations exam, and there was a question about which class a drug was in – the answer should have been Cephalosporins but that was not one of the multiple choice options.

Aside from those concerns, I really did like the course, I feel well-informed going into the PTCE, and I would highly recommend it.

This program made it super easy and convenient to learn everything I need to pass the PCTE without relying on external sources. It was well worth the money and I am confident I have all the materials I need to pass my upcoming PTCE (wish me luck!)

Has lots of resources and videos for you to succeed in your exam

I’m changing careers, and this course was recommended to me by someone already working in the industry.

Looks good so far!

The content and pace is great. This course gives you the opportunity to learn at your own pace and time

Good for setting guidelines for things to learn. Has a lot of supplementary material attached to main course that really allows you to learn the subject matter in detail.
