I couldn’t recommend a better training provider than ProPharmace. The level of teaching was incredible and the resources we received were useful! The mocks, including the mini tests we had at the training days were fab. They motivated me to delve deeper into topics and brush up on my calculations skills

Thank you to the whole team at Propharmace. Your resources and training days were very helpful. The mock review day was also incredibly helpful and unlike any other mock review. You were the only ones who went through every single question. Thank you for all your help and support!

I’m so grateful to everyone at Propharmace for helping and supporting us through one of the hardest years of our careers. Thank you so much.
