Helpful course

So glad that I have found this online course as I am working and learning at the same time because it’s very convenient. The courses are very easy to follow and understand as a foreign learner. Also would like to recommend for those who are not familiar with pharmaceuticals terms cause this course is very good at explaining.

Great course!

The video lectures were very well-organized and easy to follow. The information was for the most part intuitive and Dr. Emmel does a great job with pacing and explaining everything clearly, including specific concepts and processes while also indicating what is and what is not expected on the PTCE. Overall, it is clear that these concepts and skills presented are useful in the workplace to being a knowledgeable Certified Pharmacy Technician.

Great Course! Would recommend to any aspiring Pharmacy Tech

Dr. Emmel really made this course standout! His extensive knowledge within the pharmaceutical field, skill and real-world examples that he incorporates into each module facilitates the learning process and makes it easier for me to apply this learning unto the PTCE and my pharmaceutical endeavors.

Amazing Course - HIGHLY Recommend

I am so glad that I chose this course for my pharm tech certification. With this course, I have passed my PTCE on the first try. I have had no experience in the pharmacy, and the foundation of my knowledge for the exam has come from this course. I feel that this course does a great job of going over the material covered on the exam comprehensively and thoroughly without excess fluff. Dr. Emmel explains the material in a very organized and easy to understand way. And what makes this course really stand out to me is how personal it feels. You can tell Dr. Emmel truly cares about this course and his students, even hosting live meetings to answer student questions, concerns, and other topics he find important. He also responds to messages very quickly. I feel I got such a great value for this course, and my experience taking the course has been nothing short of amazing. I highly recommend it. Thank you so much, Dr. Emmel!!!

Cindy, thank you so much for this wonderful review. We really appreciate your kind comments, and are glad you had a good experience. Congratulations on passing the exam!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Wonderful course, just needs a small update or two

Covers an excellent amount of material and delivers it quick enough to keep momentum but not so fast that it feels overwhelming. A couple different areas seem to have fallen behind a bit, though not by too much, which makes sense considering the state of the medical world these last 6 or so years. Overall a great course, just needs some minor updates.

Hi there,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review. If you have specific examples of where we can improve the course material, please let us know (you can email us at info@pharmacytechscholar.com). Our last course update was in 2023 and we are working on our 2024 update, and we try to incorporate as much student feedback in these updates as we can. When there are major changes, we update the material in between our annual review and updates. There shouldn't be any material in the course that is out of date, but if there is something we missed we would appreciate the feedback.

This program is excellent

This program is excellent! I have been out of pharmacy for almost 20 years, and was nervous about what I didn't know. But Dr. Emmel does a great job explaining everything that you need to know for the PTCE! I'm excited to be able sit for the test by July!

Pass your PTCE at Pharmacy Tech Scholar

At Pharmacy Tech Scholar, you are bound for success if you're looking to get back to work and willing to embrace a new career in pharmaceutical industry as a pharmacy technician. I did my research online and found that Dr. Emmel's program was very competitive and affordable in terms of price if you're having difficulty paying your fee. His instruction is very thorough and easy to follow and understand. He also has virtual classroom sessions if you have questions or struggling to understand certain material modules. I highly recommend Dr. Emmel's online program if you want to pass your PTCE to become a pharmacy technician, at your own pace!

Great prepartion for the $

The overall class is great and this does well to prepare someone for the PCTE, and the price is the best you will find. However I live in central time and with working a full time job I was never able to attend any of the virtual classes. The professor is practically on call 24/7 I think because the man is an expert at responding to emails anytime of day. My critiques with the curriculum itself would be that some information needs updated and there are some areas that need more coverage and were not covered at all. For example, the drugs covered I found that many had old brand names that are now days not commonly used to refer to that drug and needed updated to the more common names. Also the math, although those modules are well rounded and include all math that was present on the PCTE I did not agree with the way many of problems were solved. I found other methods that made more since to me as a student so I hope in the future they may offer different methods of solving the same equations. Lastly, I believe that some areas that need covered are individual state pharmacy board regulations, and more curriculum surrounding packaging of drugs with ventricular hoods ect.

A straightforward and affordable course for curious and dedicated people!

PTS has made it very easy to digest and study all the topics and knowledge I need to prepare for my exam! The course is palatable and straightforward, and I get to study without the time pressure and distractions I've experienced with in-person institutions. I am happy to have discovered the course, and I'm excited to get my foot in the door of pharmacy.

Pharm Tech Scholar is the move!

This course is great! I didn't expect Dr. Emmel to be so engaging and responsive. He did a awesome job at explaining everything in a simple, easy-to-grasp manner, even when the topic is complex. I love that I could learn at my own pace and still receive support or help whenever I need it. I have already recommended this course to a close friend that was interested in becoming a certified PT and I HIGHLY recommend it to any reading this as well :)

Awesome course for learning about pharmacy technician

Really enjoyed this course. This course is very informational and like how they have videos and PowerPoints which you can follow along. There are practice tests after every section which is good practice in order to learn the information taught. This course is flexible and you can finish on your own time which I really enjoyed. If your wanting to take a pharmacy tech course you should take this one.
