A pharmacy retail counter assistant course that is exempt from course fees, will start on November 1 at GRETB Training Centre in Mervue, Galway.
Pharmacy sales assistants deal professionally with customers on a large range of health, personal care, and beauty issues. They are well groomed, enjoy dealing with people, and enjoy work that is varied, fulfilling, and rewarding. This course equips you with skills needed to perform various tasks assigned to pharmacy assistants in a fast-growing industry.
More and more people today are realising the importance of physical wellbeing and are relying on community pharmacies for products and knowledge. This may be the perfect opportunity for you to build your career in this industry.
The pharmacy retail counter assistant course will give you extensive knowledge of over the counter (OTC ) medicines which is essential in a job like this as well as patient counselling skills, knowing when to refer to the pharmacist, and how to interact with customers in a retail setting.
This course has been running for 20 years and GRETB regularly provides staff to pharmacies in both full and part time positions as well as aiding progression to further roles and training.
The course will be delivered as a blended programme – both in-centre and online learning.
The course is non-fee paying, is full time, and will be completed over a period of 40 weeks. Initially, students spend 30 weeks learning with the final 10 weeks working full time in a pharmacy.
You must have an excellent standard of spoken and written English as well as IT skills.
