The College Diploma - Pharmacy Technician at Centennial College's Morningside campus in Toronto is a two-year college diploma that gives you a practical, career-focused education in this field.

You will train for Ontario's regulated pharmacy-technician profession — pharmacology, calculations, dispensing, compounding, pharmacy law and systems — with labs and placements in community and hospital pharmacies, on the pathway to OCP registration. Pharmacy roles sit in PGWP healthcare priorities (confirm CIP). Graduates work in community, hospital and long-term-care pharmacies across the GTA's large health sector.

Delivered at Centennial College's Morningside campus in Toronto. This field aligns with the priority categories in Canada's post-2024 PGWP rules, so graduates may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit; confirm the program's CIP code on Centennial's official PGWP-Aligned list, as the final decision rests with IRCC.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Registered Pharmacy Technician, Hospital Pharmacy Technician and Community Pharmacy Technician, gaining hands-on skills and real Canadian experience in Toronto's large job market.

Beyond technical learning, you will build the communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and support long-term success in Canada and beyond.

Studying at Ontario's first public college — one of Canada's most multicultural campuses, with automatic entrance scholarships of up to $5,000 for eligible new international students — you get supportive services and a welcoming community.
