Program Requirements


CERTIFIED BACKGROUND CHECK

The Pharmacy Technician Program utilizes the company “Castle Branch ” (CB) to
perform additional background checks and as the depository for all required
clinic paperwork.  All pharmacy technician students are REQUIRED to use
Certified Background Check.  Beginning 9/1/2014, pharmacy technician applicants
are required to purchase and pass the background check BEFORE they are allowed
to register for any pharmacy technician course.

Students log-on to the certified background website and create a profile.  The
student must pay a $120 fee, which includes the student’s 21-panel drug screen. 
Once the fee is paid, the student will then submit &/or upload all required
paperwork (physical forms, vaccination records, TSBP registration, medical
insurance, etc) directly to Castle Branch.  The Pharmacy Technician WILL NOT
accept any clinic paperwork.  ALL paperwork must be submitted directly to the
CB.  Directions for use of the CB service will be given to the student during
new student orientation.

Texas State Board of Pharmacy Technician Trainee Registration

Texas state law requires all students to register with the Texas State Board of
Pharmacy (TSBP) and obtain “active” registration as a Pharmacy Technician
Trainee prior to beginning clinical rotations.  When registering with the Texas
State Board of Pharmacy, a federal criminal background check and fingerprinting
will be performed on each applicant.  If the student has a criminal record they
may be put on a pending status and will not be allowed to register for clinical
until the pending status is lifted and the student is granted Registration.

It is against the law for any person to function as a pharmacy technician in any
pharmacy setting without proper TSBP registration.  Therefore, the Pharmacy
Technician Program WILL NOT place a student into any clinical site without valid
TSBP Pharmacy Technician Trainee Registration under any circumstances.  TSBP
makes all decisions on technician trainee registration.  HCC, Coleman College,
or the Pharmacy Technician program have no say on whether an applicant is
granted trainee status.

To be eligible for TSBP registration, applicants must have a valid social
security number.  Students who are denied registration and/or not granted
registration will not be allowed to continue in the Pharmacy Technician Program
and may not be allowed future re-admission into the program.  Go to
http://www.tsbp.state.tx.us/Pharmacytechs.htm  for more information on pharmacy
technician trainee registration.
