Program overview
The College Diploma - Pharmacy Technician (PTN1) is a 2 year program at Fanshawe College’s London campus.
PTN1 is the registration-track pharmacy credential: pharmacology, sterile and non-sterile compounding, prescription processing and pharmacy operations with placements across community and hospital settings, preparing graduates for Ontario College of Pharmacists registration. Regulation creates scarcity, and regulated technicians choose among offers.
Students join a full college city on Oxford Street: labs, studios, residences and a students’ union with its own venues, backed by Ontario’s OINP and Express Entry routes for working graduates.
Under current rules, PGWP access for this credential depends on CIP 51.0805 (Pharmacy technician) remaining an eligible field — a check worth repeating on Fanshawe’s live list right before you apply.
