The problem I had with this program was that after each lesson you are given a test. The program gives you 3 chances to pass the test which is great however you are timed during the test and each time the majority of the questions are different from the previous set of questions.

I enrolled a long time ago, and I didn't get a chance to graduate, but I had no problem finishing the program; back then, as soon as I enrolled, they sent me the book for the whole program ( if I'm not mistaken, it had been more than 24 years ago). I finished it within two months; the problem was, I lost my job, and I couldn't pay anymore, so I abandon the program other than that they were a good school. I gave it four stars because the course was too easy for me.

Defiantly DO NOT go with them if youre expecting your externship to be started in a timely manner, I have already had to pay an extension fee due to them not being able to place me in my desire location yet they failed to let me know until I contacted them 4 weeks later (because I was told, give them 4-6 weeks to place me) so now I went and found my own location, which I was in contact with the man who was supposed to arrange it with the pharmacy, well I was told 4 weeks ago I would receive a call...

I started the pharmacy technician course in 2017 and finished it within a few months. I have been waiting for almost a year for the promised externship. They keep making excuses saying that there are no externship positions open at this time. I am not willing to pay the $700 for this course because it is beyond ridiculous. They treat you like dirt and do not give what they promise. Their customer service is terrible and they just want your money. I will NEVER recommend this school to anyone! I already... Read More

I have been waiting on the last step of the course which is the externship for more than half a year. I paid for the fingerprint and finished all the forms long time ago. They couldnt just place me in a CVS or Walgreen. I called and emailed for many times, but they just kept having me to wait. It is definitely not worth waiting for this. I spent like $700+ on this course, but now I spent most of my time waiting.

First off Id like to say about every time I called to speak to the staff they did not give the impression they cared about my questions or concerned, infact their responses sounded belittling in my opinion. And not very helpful. However S. was very polite. I had went through my course with a 4.0 grade point average and when I completed my lab simulation test I was supposed to be placed for next turn ship I had followed all the requirements and steps to obtain my pharmacy technician trainee license...

This college is a joke. Very unclear on expectations, very slow at getting back to you, and in my particular program they made it seem again and again that there was "just one or two things" that needed to be done before I could get experience in a pharmacy. The course is organized very poorly in general. Also very unprofessional. When I called to get help for the first time they put me on hold for an hour and 20 minutes before I finally decided to just finish the task to the best of my ability.... Read More

This is one of the most inexpensive college certificate programs yet it takes way too long to process the certificate and the promised portions of the certificate. You are looking more to graduate within 6 months or more, so the 4 months is advertised to market and prey upon your desire to finish quickly and without having to pay much. Customer service is not their strongest attribute of the school and you get what you pay for. There's a reason why it's cheaper than most programs. After being in... Read More

Great academics, Awful operative capability

Degree: Pharmacy Technician

Let me just say first, the school has awesome academics. I can't speak for all of their programs, but as far as pharmacy technician certificate goes, it is in great depth and was overall very good. However, operating within their secure website was very, very difficult for me and I am 21 years old- so it's definitely not because I don't know how to use technology. You have to wait up to a few days for different lessons to properly load and cache onto your portal, it is very sensitive to logging into... Read More

IF YOU ARE MILITARY, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT GO THROUGH ASHWORTH COLLEGE AS A CORRESPONDENT COURSE. YOU WILL NOT GET YOUR ENROLLMENT VERIFICATION SENT IN A TIMELY MANNER TO THE V.A. TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT PAYMENTS. THIS WAS THE ONLY ISSUE I HAD WITH ASHWORTH COLLEGE AND THEIR MILITARY DIVISION. OTHER THAN THAT IT WAS GOOD.

I was told they would help find externship only to find out that was a lie. I was told would have to pay an extra 200+ for one. Are you serious. Then when I go online again I see where they included it in the newer course offered to others. This is not even three months later!!! I felt betrayed and was not able to find an externship on my own. I feel like I paid for nothing. Then at graduation time I paid for all my stuff only to have to not be able to attend because my daughter was hopitalized with... Read More

Degree: Pharmacy Technician

So Ashworth decided to change their Pharmacy Tech program in Nov 2014, 2 months after I started my program. This change, thus affected their accreditation, which effected the licensing requirements in several states. Long story short, I wasted $ and time. They never notified me that they changed their curriculum. I found out when I asked them to complete my certification form on my CA licensing application, that's when they notified me that their program is 1) no longer accredited, and 2) didn't... Read More
