Accredited Checking Technician Jobs Provide A Good Vocational Career

Accredited checking technician jobs are similar to pharmacy technician jobs. While the latter receives the prescription, takes out the drugs from shelves and packs them, the former checks the dispensed prescription for its accuracy. Checking, labeling and packing have all become formal procedures and the accredited checking technician will be trained in all these in a pharmacy context.

Training to Become an Accredited Checking Technician


The technician training is done under vocational training schemes, and accredited checking technicians are NVQ 3 or BTEC certified (in UK). The checking technician is trained to check that:

• The medicine or product matches the prescription and is in date


• It is assembled using correct equipment and processes


• It is packed and labeled appropriately


• Appropriate records are made


• Health, hygiene and safety procedures are followed at all times

• Start with an explanation of the legal and professional issues involved in checking, packing and labeling pharmacy medicines


• Train the technician to work with other staff of the pharmacy


• Make the technician go through typical checking exercises


• Involve a final project to check 1000 items at a hospital without errors


• Proceed to a test and assessment by a panel of pharmacists and technicians


• Involve a probation period during which his or her performance is observed
