PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE/CERTIFICATION DISCLOSURE
In some states and territories, a license or certification is required for employment as a Pharmacy Technician. Each state and US territory has its own standards and requirements for obtaining that license or certification.
This document provides you a list of those states and territories where this institution has made the determination that its nursing curriculum meets the educational requirements for licensure. The Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (www.ptcb.org) also publishes a list of states where licensure or certification is not required for employment.
Also, understand that in the states/territories where the institution has made the determination that its curriculum meets the educational requirements for licensure or certification, this does not mean that this is the only requirement to be licensed or certified in that state/territory. Every state/territory likely will have additional requirements to be licensed or certified in that state/territory.
To assist you in making your decision whether to apply to WVJC’s Pharmacy Technician program, we have provided you a list of states and territories and their respective contact information for the governing boards, where available. This list is also available on our website under the Consumer Information link. We encourage you to contact the governing body in the state or territory in which you desire to become licensed/certified or intend to work to seek additional information prior to enrolling in our program.
