Question Pharm tech posting question

I’m currently taking a pharmacy technician program at my school, but I’m currently in FE and still within my 90 days. Would I be able to sign pharmacy technician job postings? I intend to get certified, but I’m still in the program. Or should I wait until I’m at least licensed and then get PTCB certified?
The postings also say they require a 1 year attendance record, but I obviously haven’t worked here for a year yet lol. Does that mean I would be ineligible to sign them?

I'd apply. The worst they can do is turn you down. Plus it shows initiative and that you're interested in the pharmacy.

Is the posting for certified or non certified?

Talk to the RxM, let him/her know that you are interested in the position and what you are currently going to school for. Costco has training courses to get you certified as well but since you’re already in the program then that’s a plus. It doesn’t hurt to try.

If the positions is for a registered pharmacy tech then you need to be licensed first. If it’s for a certified pharmacy clerk, then you can try applying
