I'll be honest you can especially independent pharmacies, you may learn faster and pick it up but book wise and getting licenses you will need some sort of courses like CE to get into it and registration all depends on state for how many hours to be registered and always Continuation classes to keep it up. Independent pharmacies help get your foot into it but practice makes better and just try your best you can always use your job as credited hours. Good Luck!!!!

I did apply to Walgreens. I would advise you to get started working at a pharmacy first and work there for at least 500 hours. You could then log on to PTCB.org because you would be eligible to take the CPhT exam. Before taking the exam however, I would consider purchasing a study guide from them to ensure that you are the most prepared.
