States

Pharmacy technicians are not regulated by the Wisconsin State Board of Pharmacy.

Training is usually provided on-the-job under the supervision of a qualified and licensed pharmacist. Pharmacists must keep a record of training. Furthermore, though official PTCB certification is not required, it is considered desirable as the gold standard of qualifications for pharmacy technicians throughout the United States – improving both career opportunities and salary prospects. Competition for pharmacy technician roles in Wisconsin is currently high.
