Training to work in a community or hospital pharmacy.
Program Overview
Critical training
Gain the specialized knowledge and training needed to deliver pharmacy services in community and hospital settings! This program is fully accredited by the Canadian Council for Accreditation of Pharmacy Programs, and learning outcomes meet the entry-to-practice competency requirements of the National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities.
Things you'll learn to do
- Receive, identify, interpret and process prescription and non-prescription orders, herbal and complementary care medicine products
- Select, measure, weigh, count, pour, reconstitute, package and label products for dispensing
- Compound sterile and non-sterile products
- Uphold ethical principles and legal requirements to practice
Work in pharmacy environments
All in-person lectures and labs will be held in Sheridan’s Centre for Health Communities, a state-of-the-art facility designed to simulate applied health settings. Apply your new skills in your assignments, case studies, discussions, presentations and more! You’ll also gain real-world experience through field placement in both hospital pharmacy (160 hours) and community pharmacy (200 hours) settings.
Develop core foundational skills
Build a strong foundation of knowledge in core subjects such as human anatomy and physiology, pharmacy math, pharmacy legislation and pharmacology. You’ll also learn how to communicate with patients and clients in a professional manner; collaborate with other healthcare professionals; and manage pharmacy inventory to ensure safe, effective and efficient product distribution.
Qualify for additional certification
As a graduate of this program, you’ll be eligible to pursue technician registration with the Ontario College of Pharmacists (OCP), which is required to practice as a pharmacy technician in Ontario.* You’ll also be eligible to write your Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC) qualifying exam and the OCP Jurisprudence Exam.
* Note: When registering with the OCP, you’ll also need to obtain personal professional liability insurance, submit a police background check and declare that your past and present conduct meets the OCP’s good character requirements.
Innovative learning
Sheridan’s Pharmacy Technician diploma program uses various delivery methods to support different learning styles. Courses are delivered through a combination of traditional in-class lectures, practical hands-on labs and online and hybrid courses. Case studies, individual and group assignments, discussions, student presentations, bell-ringer circuits, critical reflections and e-journals are just a few ways that you'll demonstrate your evolving competencies.
Explore your future labs
Our Pharmacy Technician labs are equipped with industry-standard equipment and were designed to simulate real-world workplaces. Want to see inside? Take a virtual tour of a Pharmacy Lab you'll use as a student in this program.
COVID-19 Vaccination Requirements
Effective April 25, 2022, Sheridan College will no longer require proof of COVID vaccination to attend campus.
However, in the Pharmacy Technician program, our students participate in clinical placements in hospitals. At this time, most GTA hospitals require that all students must have met the immunization requirements.This means students must be fully vaccinated (2 doses) or have a documented medical or human rights exemption.
We strongly recommend that all Pharmacy Technician students get their vaccinations as outlined above as soon as possible. A student without the proper vaccines will not be able to complete a placement in a hospital and this may impact ability to graduate from the program.
For up-to-date information regarding Sheridan’s response to COVID-19 and for links to public health information, please see Sheridan’s COVID-19 webpage.
Sheridan’s Pharmacy Technician diploma program has been awarded Full Accreditation status by the Canadian Council for Accreditation of Pharmacy Programs from January 2022 to June 2027.

Educational philosophy
Sheridan's Honours Bachelor of Interior Design curriculum and its delivery are designed to address current social issues pertinent to the design industry. This enables students to broaden their understanding of their place within the world.
Fundamental to the vision of the program is the balance of creative and conceptual thinking with the technical and business aspects of the profession. Courses follow a logical sequence with the degree of difficulty building vertically from first year to fourth year.
The various streams provide a range of design problems building in size and scope, from simple to complex in various design sectors. The curriculum builds on fundamental introductions that ensures a strong foundation for students to apply additional more complex learning and skills developed later in the program.
Studio projects are designed to mimic professional practice and require applied theory, creativity and strong technical knowledge. Curriculum is also connected horizontally across each semester to help support the learning in courses happening simultaneously. This demonstrates the inter-connected knowledge and skills required to practice in the industry.
The program provides many opportunities that expose students to practicing professionals and professional practice. Industry leaders and representatives from professional associations like ARIDO and IDC are invited into the classroom as jurors and guest speakers throughout the four years. The internship also provides professional design work experience for students before they enter their final year of study.
The curriculum is student-centric and designed to equip students with the skills that are required for entry-level design positions and advanced study. Manual skills such as drafting, drawing and model making are developed alongside digital skills using current software. Students are also well-versed in the applicable building codes and regulations required to practice in Ontario. Students are exposed to valuable research skills and encouraged to continue their learning past graduation.
Program goals
Sheridan's Honours Bachelor of Interior Design program aspires to:
- Develop confident, creative and critical thinkers that can solve a variety of problems thoughtfully, improving the quality of the built environment and protecting the health, safety and welfare of the public.
- Equip students with the tools to think independently and ethically to ensure technically, environmentally, and socially responsible decision-making.
- Deliver current and relevant curriculum that incorporates equity, diversity and inclusion. This encourages students to create spaces that foster inclusivity and look at design from various perspectives within diverse communities, involving numerous stakeholders.
- Inform students regarding the various facets of the profession, engaging them with designers and industry affiliates.
- Encourage continuous professional and personal growth, instilling a desire to contribute to the profession and society at large. The program encourages students to become active participants in the design community, become members of their local Association, write their NCIDQ exams, give back to the community and become progressive leaders in the profession.
- Prepare graduates for entry-level design positions, equipped with the required knowledge and skills for employment in the diverse design industry, ensuring they possess the body of knowledge necessary to respond to social and environmental issues, while designing interior spaces that are technically proficient, code-compliant, conceptually strong, sustainable and all-inclusive.
- Provide enhanced opportunities for students to pursue post-graduate studies, employment, research and/or further their academic studies and/or credentials.
