Becoming a pharmacy technician in Alberta

What are the pharmacy technician requirements in Alberta?

• Jurisprudence Learning Module: an online course with nine chapters on Alberta's laws and standards.
• Ethics & Jurisprudence Exam: you book it once you're on the provisional register. A pass is valid for two years.
• Structured Practical Training: see the next section.
• PEBC Qualifying Exam, Parts I and II: results must be current within three years when you apply, or you retake both parts.
• At least $1 million of personal professional liability insurance in your own name (not needed while you're provisional).

For initial registration you also need an Enhanced Police Information Check from the past six months, notarized ID, a passport photo from the last 12 months and a statutory declaration. CCAPP graduates from English-language programs in Canada generally don't need an English test; internationally educated applicants take academic IELTS or OET.
