"I can't say enough about Westervelt's Pharmacy Technician Program. It had been
a few years since graduating high school, and I was a bit apprehensive about
starting school. It was great to be challenged again and to learn so many new
things. The pharmacy like classroom provided an excellent learning environment,
my instructor was great and always encouraged me to do my best. I especially
enjoyed the field placement as it took a lot of the fear out of the unknown and
put things into perspective. Receiving a Presidential Honours Diploma completed
my dream of becoming a college graduate. My training gave me the confidence I
needed to pursue a career as a Pharmacy Technician, and I am pleased to say that
I received an offer of full-time employment prior to finishing my studies"
