saitvrain Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 It varies from what company however, most states required accepting CPhT to work in health care system. Let me know if you any have further questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libau Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 You can work without the technician certification as a Trainee, but they will pay you less money. Take the test for certification it is so easy, just have to review the Law part a little bit. Also some states requires to register with the state board of Pharmacy as a tech or trainee. Go ahead and do it it will give you at least an aproach to the field. I have being a Pharmacy tech for 4 year now, just start with the license process last year. good luck to you.

Dunhill Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 It is not required but recommended if you want to land in a job quickly. You need to talk to the pharmacy manager where you are appling! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Minnie Did you have the work visa or working rights before you found the job as pharmacy tech? or how can someone work as pharmacy tech while in the process of pharmacy license but not having the work visa?
