Is the KMTC Diploma in Pharmacy Hard?

I wouldn’t say that the KMTC diploma in pharmacy is hard, but for sure it is challenging. If you posted a good performance in KCSE chemistry, biology and math, then you probably have what it takes for you to successfully complete the KMTC diploma in pharmacy. Of course, the courses you will have to go through while trying to attain a KMTC nursing diploma will be far more challenging than anything you encountered in high school chemistry, math and biology. But the expectation is that by the time you are joining the Kenya Medical Training College for a Pharmacy Diploma, you should have matured and your mind grown to a level where you can absorb harder concepts. Plus you should have developed better studying discipline, to enable you cope with the KMTC pharmacy diploma studies.

The course is for sure challenging, but is worthwhile, because if one manages to go through the KMTC diploma in pharmacy and subsequently manages to pass the pharmacy and poisons board exam, then there would be opportunities galore waiting for him or her. The KMTC pharmacy diploma is one of those qualifications with which it is very hard for one to miss a job completely. What can be challenging after completing the KMTC pharmacy diploma is the aspect of getting a pharmaceutical technologist job in a government hospital. But if one is willing to start with those jobs that entail being employed in a chemist store or being initially employed as a pharmaceutical technologist in one of those low profile private hospitals, then it is highly unlikely that one would completely miss an opportunity. One can start with such lowly positions, before ascending to pharmaceutical technologist jobs in the Kenya government or in the high profile private hospitals.
