Know the Schools

Find Accrediting Body
The next step is to find the body that accredits the pharmacy technician schools and courses. This can be a local body or can be one that performs its duties at the national scale. It will vary in each country. -

Check with the Authority
There are a number of ways to check the status of a course or school with the authority. You can write to them via mail which will be answered but may take some time. You can also call them and see if they are willing to give you information over the phone. Most such authorities these days have a directory available online to check the status and in that case, it will be easy to know which schools are accredited and which are not. If the office is nearby, you can go in person and check the status of your preferred institutes. This can be helpful as the face to face communication can help you get more information as well. -

Pick Your School
Now that you are aware of all the accredited schools on your list, see which one is the best option which is available and select it. You may want to keep two to three choices open so that if you are unable to secure an admission in your top preference, you do not waste time and are able to get admission in the next best option.
