TRAINEE TESTIMONIALS

Listed below are just a few of our happy accuracy checking technician course trainees.

The ACT programme was easy to follow and well explained in the workbook as to what I needed to do. I feel confident in my checking process and ready to start my new role as an ACT! Thank you!

David, Bolton

I found the telephone interview and timed checking exercise really helpful in building my confidence in my abilities to check effectively. Being able to complete the whole programme within the pharmacy was great as I was worried I would have to go to an assessment centre but this was
not the case, which I was really happy about.

Rita, London

I found the Scientia Skills very helpful and they explained the whole process to me before I signed my technician up for the course. The tutor guide was also very helpful. I particularly liked the fact that there were a number of different ways that the competency of my ACT was assessed, which provided me with a great deal of confidence in their ability.
