To make sure you have up-to-date knowledge and skills when you apply to register as a pharmacist, we put a time limit on passing pre-registration training. You must complete your initial pharmacy education and training successfully and apply to register with the GPhC within:
We may extend the limits if your training has been interrupted, or if you have had to complete it part time, for example because of:
part-time study
reasonable adjustments to accommodate a specific need
maternity or paternity leave
a serious illness

We will only grant extensions on the basis of appropriate evidence. This could include evidence from an appropriately qualified professional.
If you think your circumstances may mean you can have the time limits extended, please contact us.
