This is the only programme currently on the market which meets the new GPhC Initial Education and Training Standards for Pharmacy Technicians.

The Advanced Apprenticeship in Pharmacy Programme allows learners, with relevant experience, to register as a pharmacy technician with the General Pharmaceutical Council.

The scope of this course is to accredit technicians to carry out the final accuracy check of dispensed items clinically screened by the pharmacist.

This course provides the underpinning knowledge for the Advanced Apprenticeship Programme.

The qualified pharmacy technician will be able to dispense medicines and pharmaceutical products, reflect on and develop their practice, undertake an in-process accuracy check and give pharmaceutical information and advice.
