Practical training, such as completing an internship in a pharmacy, is required as part of training for licensing and employment as a pharmacy technician. Many employers favor pharmacy technicians to be certified with a national or local pharmacy board, such as by passing standard examinations, including paying a fees and liability insurance. In the United States, voluntary certification is available through many private organizations. Elsewhere, such as in Canada, Tanzania and the United Kingdom, pharmacy technicians are required to be registered with a provincial or a national regulatory body or council.
