Program details
Overview
Techniques de pharmacie (DEC 165.A0) is a technical program at Cégep de Sorel-Tracy that trains students to become pharmacy technicians. Coursework addresses the technical, administrative and clinical duties the role involves: preparing and verifying medication orders, managing pharmaceutical stock and patient records, and supporting the pharmacist in delivering care to clients. Alongside general-education courses, students complete specialized pharmacy classes and laboratory sessions that simulate real pharmacy operations, including client interactions and medication-handling procedures. The program page notes that Cégep de Sorel-Tracy is the only college in the Montérégie region to offer this program, which draws students from across the surrounding area. It suits students drawn to health care who are comfortable with detail-oriented, regulated technical work, communicating with the public, and functioning as part of a pharmacy team under a pharmacist's supervision. Graduates are prepared to work as pharmacy technicians in community or hospital pharmacies, and the technical training also provides a foundation for further study in related health-sciences fields for students who choose to continue their education.

Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRAM (admission.sram.qc.ca): the college's page currently shows fall-intake rounds of 1 March, 22 April and 27 May 2026 (the cycle that has already started) and winter 2027 rounds of 1 November and 25 November 2026, with later applications assessed in successive rounds while seats remain; fall 2027 round dates were not yet published at the time of this check. International applicants apply through SRAM's international stream and must submit by 14 March for fall entry only, as the college does not offer winter intake to international students; SRAM does not publish a separate rolling window for these applicants beyond that fixed date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
