Training to be Provided
Level 3 Pharmacy Technician apprenticeship standard qualification, which includes:

It also helps to demonstrate that what an apprentice has learnt can be applied in the real world.
The focus is now on the outcome of an apprenticeship and apprentices have to demonstrate the knowledge, skills and behaviours that employers have identified they need.
