This online certificate program is only offered in partnership with major accredited colleges and universities.
Walgreens will supply externs with 20 to 40 hours of hands-on experience that includes assisting pharmacists with prescriptions, answering patient questions about medications and a bevy of administrative duties. Approximately ninety percent of Walgreens externs gain employment with the pharmacy chain following completion of the program.
In order to qualify for a Walgreens Externship, you will have to pass a drug screening, obtain general liability insurance, and background check/employment verification will be required. Registration for the externship program is available once a month.

“The online format allowed me to study to be a Pharmacy Technician while being employed, and also to work on the course at my own pace. I appreciate this as I live three hours away from any campus that offered this course.”
