From 1st August 2024, NHS England has funded CPPE to offer the Accuracy checking pharmacy technician programme  (ACPT) for pharmacy technicians working in community pharmacy, NHS hospitals and in Health and Justice. A total of 80 NHS-funded places are available, with 10 places on the course available each month.

The ACPT programme is open to pharmacy technicians who are registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), work in a premises in England and who meet the entry criteria. Entry criteria can be checked here.
