How long is a tech-in-training registration effective for?

A tech-in-training registration is effective for a duration of 24 months. This time frame is established to ensure that individuals enrolled in training programs have a clear window to complete their training and become fully certified technicians. The 24-month period allows for adequate learning and practical experience, promoting the development of skills necessary for the pharmacy setting.

After this period, if the individual has not progressed to becoming a licensed pharmacy technician, the registration would need to be renewed or would no longer be valid. This regulation helps maintain the integrity and competency of pharmacy practice by ensuring that only trained and certified individuals are performing the tasks required in a pharmacy.
