    California State Board of Pharmacy — pharmacy_technician

    The California State Board of Pharmacy pharmacy technician application instructions, form 17A-7 (rev. 1/2025), list Military Training as a qualifying method: submit a copy of the DD214 documenting evidence of pharmacy technician training provided by a branch of the federal armed services. The application form says the applicant checks one qualifying method in order to apply for a pharmacy technician license pursuant to Business and Professions Code section 4202(a)(1) through (4), and one checkbox reads 'Attached is a copy of military training DD214.' The instructions do not name 68Q. Submitting a DD214 is not issuance of a license.

    Next step: Open the cited source and confirm it before you apply or pay a fee. No time, cost, or extra procedure was imported for this note.
