Extremely Helpful!

As someone with not much prior pharmacy experience or knowledge at all, I couldn’t recommend this course enough! The material is very organized and written in a way which makes learning fairly easy and even fun. Dr. Emmel is an amazing instructor and definitely passionate about both pharmacy and teaching it. Any questions are always answered in a timely manner, and there is no shortage of communication or support if needed. The virtual classrooms as well as the several resources provided are also a huge plus. Overall, I really enjoyed the course and definitely feel set up for success!

I purchased this course as a refresher to prepare for the PTCE. I have yet to schedule the exam, but overall I thought the course material to be well-organized and hopefully insightful to the level of passing the exam. Thank you for your suggestions on what to study for the top 200+ medications chapters, and the helpful hints on how to remember them! It was especially helpful for me to play the audio/video feature while simultaneously reviewing the Chapter PowerPoints, as it simulated a daily lecture environment that helps me learn. For the cost of this course, I found this course to be a good buy; a good study tool; five stars. next step is to pass the exam .. wish me luck!

Great course

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.

I like how in the videos it went into detail, and they were easy to understand. If you needed help you could always ask the teacher, but the most help was taking notes.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Also, I’m super thankful that this course is affordable. I’d recommend this course to anyone. My mother is considering taking this course after seeing me finish this course. This is sooo much better than going in class-considering that I work an interesting schedule. I have no complaints about this program.
The only thing that I’d like to recommend is adding a virtual lab aspect-if you’re willing to do that.

The professor is really interactive in the virtual classroom meetings and he is always available for any questions or concerns through the message board. I’m feeling very prepared to take the PTCE.

This program has helped me tremendously…

This program has helped me tremendously in preparing for the PTCE. When I first began the course I was nervous that it would be a lot of information thrown at me all at once. It turned out that this course is perfectly paced and it’s broken up into sections so the course material is easier to retain. I 1000% recommend this course for anyone wanting to become a certified pharmacy technician!!!

Informative and affordable course

I began this course one month ago and am now almost complete. This has proven to be an informative, self-paced option for satisfying PTCB requirements. It's also the most affordable course listed in PTCB's directory. Aaron Emmel's communication style was great, and I also found his recommended supplementary material helpful.

Pharmacy Tech Scholar is everything you hope for in an online learning platform.

Pharmacy Tech Scholar is everything you hope for in an online learning platform. Along with being creative in various teaching methods, Dr. Emmel is prompt to respond to messages, draws attention to detail, empathetic to various learning needs and styles, and is an expert level in teaching incoming students with little to no field experience. I am a current student and work full time and learning with the guidance of this course is reassuring. I highly recommend this course.

Great Online Program for the Price!

I have enjoyed absorbing all the information presented in this course! Everything is tailored to getting you ready to take the PTCE.
If I would have taken a few Community College classes covering the same information, it would have cost me about 4 times more than the flat rate fee offered! Great price for the information presented!
It was great learning theory behind the procedures of the pharmacy, and applying what I learned even as a current Clerk in the pharmacy. Overall, great program!!

Great for self learners

I’ve wanted to become a pharmacy tech for a while and this course is great for those not willing to spend 10k at an institute. Follow along the videos to ptcb study books and lots of practice and studying and you’ll do great!

Fundamentals Focused

This is an excellent course for those that wish a fast paced and bare bones PTCE prep. Perfect for those with any other tech level or higher medical background or those that need a refresher before cert exam. If you have very little medical background it might be a little to bare bones however, perhaps a more comprehensive course that provides more A&P and basic bio-sciences information might be useful. If you do chose this PTCE prep course you can expect helpful and friendly help throughout the program.

PTCB Exam

I took the PTCB Exam today and was utterly disappointed. The exams provided within the course were nothing like the ones I took during the PTCB. They were worded completely differently and I found the Pharmacy Tech Scholar test question extremely easy in comparison. I currently have a preliminary fail on the exam and that frankly was not the score I was expecting to recirve based my consistent high performance on the full simulation exam offered at the end of the course.
