Pharmacy technician training in Louisiana

38 pharmacy technician programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

30 schools offer these pharmacy technician programs, and Louisiana has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

Pharmacy technicians help pharmacists dispense medications, manage stock and serve customers. Many programs award a certificate after a year or less, most states regulate the work in some way, and some states and employers require certification.¹

In Louisiana, 2 of the 38 programs take students without a high school diploma and 36 ask for a diploma or equivalent.

By kind, the 38 programs here are pharmacy technician (37 programs) and pharmacy technician (associate degree, 1 program).

How to pay for pharmacy technician training in Louisiana

WIOA funding can pay for pharmacy technician training in Louisiana

Where the Louisiana pharmacy technician program numbers come from

Which Louisiana pharmacy technician programs are on this list?

These are the pharmacy technician programs Louisiana approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).⁹ The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Louisiana offers.

How the prices and results of Louisiana pharmacy technician programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.

How reliable are the Louisiana figures?

The US Department of Labor's own results site lists Louisiana among the states with "known data quality concerns".¹⁰ We leave out the share working 6 months later for Louisiana: most of its programs report exactly 100%, which no other state comes close to. We leave out the share who finished for Louisiana: half of its programs report exactly 100%.
