Diploma in Pharmacy Technician

The Diploma in Pharmacy Technician at Lambton College's Sarnia campus is a two-year college diploma that gives you a strong, career-focused, hands-on education in this field.

You will prepare for a role at the heart of the healthcare team — pharmacology, pharmaceutical calculations, dispensing, compounding, pharmacy law and technology — with hands-on labs and placements. The program aligns with the standards needed to work as a pharmacy technician in Ontario. Graduates work in community, hospital and long-term-care pharmacies, where healthcare demand is strong.

Delivered at Lambton College's Sarnia campus in Ontario. Note that this program is not currently on Lambton's official PGWP-Ready list, so it may not support a Post-Graduation Work Permit — if working in Canada after graduation matters to you, confirm the current position with the college and IRCC before applying.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Pharmacy Technician, Hospital Pharmacy Technician and Community/Retail Pharmacy Technician, leaving with practical, hands-on skills and real Canadian experience that employers value.

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

With supportive instructors, modern facilities and a strongly career-focused approach, international students at Lambton College get practical learning and a welcoming place to study.
