Pre-pharmacy Tech Classes Offered for Free to Help People Prepare for RichmondCC Program

Jan. 13, 2022 - Richmond Community College is offering free pre-pharmacy technician classes that will help people brush up on skills they will need to be successful in the Pharmacy Technician I program.

The Pre-pharmacy Tech Math class will be held Jan. 24 - March 16 on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6 to 9 p.m. This class will focus on math skills.

The Pre-pharmacy Tech Career Readiness class will be held Jan. 25 - March 17 on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 9 p.m. This class will focus on study skills.

Classes will be held at the Robinette Building in downtown Rockingham.

In order to get into the Pharmacy Technician I program, students must provide transcripts that show the level of their math and reading skills, or they must take Tests of Adult Basic Education. These free pre-pharmacy classes will help people pass those assessment tests and get accepted into the Pharmacy Technician I program.

“Even if you have the scores to get into the program, we encourage all interested people to take advantage of these free classes so they are better prepared for the math and reading that the Pharmacy Tech program requires,” said Dr. Matt Zullo, program coordinator.

Those not scoring high enough for entry into the Pharmacy Technician I program can retake the pre-pharmacy technician classes at no charge. To register for classes or schedule TABE testing, call Student Services at (910) 410-1700.
