SRT FOR ENGLISH/MATH ASSESSMENT LINK

Using the link above, complete the SRT (Self-Report Tool) for English/ESL and math assessment to submit with your application for accreditation purposes. Students are not required to complete any prerequisite courses, and the results of the English/ESL and math assessments are not used in the admission process.

This assessment is designed to help identify any academic support you may need to succeed in the Pharmacy Technician program. It is not a placement test, and your results will not affect your eligibility. Please attempt all sections, including the chemistry questions, in order to complete and submit the assessment. However, chemistry is not a required subject for the Pharmacy Technician program—those questions are included to help identify potential support areas.

  * College of the Canyons offers several non-credit classes in English and math free of charge.
