What the Indiana data shows for Pharmacy Technicians

Indiana sets the entry bar for pharmacy technicians at 1,000 training hours and a passing score on a state-approved exam. A background check is a standard part of the process. The credential is administered under Indiana's licensing regime, which classifies the training track as "Certificate/Degree".

The initial price tag is $100 every 2 years. There's no continuing-education mandate tied to this profession in Indiana, which keeps the long-run cost of staying licensed lighter than in CE-heavy states.

There's no published reciprocity list here - Indiana reviews out-of-state credentials individually.
