Two Assessment Centres per year

The Assessment Centre of the Intern Training programme is available to eligible intern pharmacist candidates in May and November each year.

 

Law and Ethics Examination requirements

Successful completion of the current Law and Ethics modules is a requirement of the Intern Training programme for pharmacists who have applied for registration through the Non Recognised Equivalent Qualifications Route.  New Zealand and Australian B.Pharm graduates are exempt from this requirement.

 

Successful completion of Intern Training programme

An intern pharmacist is required to complete all assessment and training components of the Intern training programme, as accredited by the Pharmacy Council, and successful completion of the programme will be determined by the Preregistration Assessment Board (PRAB), a sub-committee of Council. All intern pharmacists must complete the requirements of the Intern Training programme within two years of registration in the Intern Scope of practise.

This period may be extended by 1 year in exceptional circumstances at the Pharmacy Council's discretion.
