Hired at an Alabama pharmacy? You have six months to complete board-approved training.

ALBOP approval means the Alabama Board of Pharmacy has reviewed and accepted Alabama Pharm Tech as a program that satisfies the initial pharmacy technician training requirement under Rule 680-X-2-.14. When you finish, your certificate of completion is accepted when you upload it through the ALBOP Licensure Gateway.

Most students finish in two to four weeks. The course is fully self-paced, so you can move faster or take more time. ALBOP gives new registrants six months from registration to complete approved training, which gives you plenty of room if you are working full time.

The program is $199 as a one-time payment. That includes all five ALBOP-required modules, module knowledge checks, the final exam, and your certificate of completion. There are no subscriptions, hidden fees, or required add-ons.

Yes. The entire course runs in your web browser on any phone, tablet, or computer. There is no app to install. Many working technicians finish modules during breaks or between shifts on their phone.

After you pass all module checks and the final exam, download your certificate from your student dashboard. Log in to the ALBOP Licensure Gateway, open your pharmacy technician profile, and upload your certificate of completion. ALBOP requires evidence of completed training within 10 days of finishing. Keep a copy for your employer and your records.

No. You do not need a college degree to take this course. To register with ALBOP as a pharmacy technician, you need a high school diploma or GED. That is a Board requirement for registration, not a requirement of this training program itself.

All sales are final. Once payment is processed and course access is delivered, we do not offer refunds. Please review the program details and confirm you are registered with ALBOP before enrolling.

The program is built and maintained by Tyler Dalton, PharmD, a fourth-generation Alabama pharmacist. He leads an independent pharmacy network across the state and wrote every module from real Alabama pharmacy practice, not generic national content.
