Training your staff is one of the most important elements of pharmacy management and one of the most rewarding investments you can make in your pharmacy. The Guild prides itself on providing pharmacy assistants with the highest quality training and has become known as the industry leader in developing and delivering specialised pharmacy training. While the Guild provided pharmacy assistants with ad hoc training for over 30 years, training became one of the Guild's core businesses when it launched the first recognised pharmacy assistants’ course in Australia in 1994 - Certificate II in Retail (Community Pharmacy Operations).
