1. Usually, chain pharmacies like CVS will train you to be a pharmacy tech, and once you've worked for them for a little while, they will pay for you to get certified. This website talks about their pharmacy tech program: http://www.cvs.com/corpInfo/careers/pharmacy_technicians.html
2. Most states do not require certification to become a pharm tech. Look up your state's requirements. There are two easy ways, in my opinion. First, buy a review book and study it. Second, get a job as a pharm tech and work for a few months. Certification does require a high school diploma.
