What are the legal requirements to work as a pharmacy technician?
The requirements to work as a pharmacy technician differ from state to state. Currently just over half of the states require pharmacy technicians to be registered or licensed. A minority – but a growing number – of states now require certification or recognize it in other ways in their regulations. Some states set minimum age, education and training requirements, and some check for a criminal record. For detailed requirements for a specific state, contact the relevant state board of pharmacy.
