AIT has been to the fore in developing higher education opportunities to degree level for pharmacy technicians. The programme is delivered in an attractive, modern facility, situated on AIT’s East Campus.
A pharmacy technician plays a central role in the smooth operation of today’s pharmacy, by supporting and assisting the pharmacist in their various activities. Pharmacy technicians are employed in both the private sector in community and private hospital pharmacies and by the HSE in hospital pharmacies.
What will I experience?
The main aim of this course is to provide you with the appropriate multi-disciplined skills and theory to enable you to play a key role in both community and hospital pharmacies. In addition to lectures, the course contains a strong practical element and you spend twenty weeks of placement in total in year two in a community and hospital pharmacy. This placement is organised by AIT and is deemed to be enormously beneficial to your employment prospects. One of our unique elements of this programme is the provision of a first aid qualification within the professional development module.
