If I am a qualified pharmacy technician, will I still have to undergo the 2 year training plan for the job?

Hi Mason,

It is unlikely you would need to repeat any qualifications you already have, but there may be elements of the training you will need to do.

If you have already applied your application manager should be able to find out the answer for you. If you have not yet applied you could try contacting the army medical services recruiting team for a more definitive answer https://www.army.mod.uk/who-we-are/corps-regiments-and-units/army-medical-services/
