Registration is a legal requirement to work as a Pharmacy Technician in California. There is no State test to complete. You must apply to the California Board of Pharmacy to be registered as a Pharmacy Technician. In addition, there is an optional National Registry Examination that you can also take. This exam is usually offered locally 3 or 4 times a year.
Jobs are very plentiful and technicians are in demand.
Job notices are telephoned, mailed and faxed to us throughout the year. Retail positions are more readily available than hospital positions. In August you should attend the Program Orientation and enroll into and pay for classes.
