Can you become pharmacy tech without going to school?

No, you cannot become a certified pharmacy technician without going to school or completing a formal training program. While the specific requirements vary by state, all states require some form of training and certification or registration to work as a pharmacy technician. This training might be through a community college, vocational school, or an on-the-job training program approved by your state's board of pharmacy. Simply having experience in a pharmacy is not enough to qualify.
