To be a pharmacy technician in California, you must go through an approved training program and register with the board of pharmacy. This can include an associates degree in Pharmacy Technology or other certification procedures.
The Pharmacy Tchnician Certification Board is located at 2215 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20037. One can find more information including the telephone number and email address on the official PTCB website.
A great resource is the pharmacy technician certification board website. They offer information on their programs and how to obtain certifications. I do know that many box pharmacy stores i.e.. CVS, Walgreens, etc. will pay for your certification if you work for them.
You would have to undergo a test, most likely administered by the PTCB (the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board). The standard exam is a 90-question 110-minute long encounter and the fee is $129.
If you want to go and study for a Pharmacy Technician the right place to go will be Pharmacy Technician Information centre. That centre will tell you the ins and outs of what you need to know about a Pharmacy Technician. The website gives you instant access to what to study for and views from other people who studied the same course.
Becoming a pharmacy tech does not specifically require "years." A pharmacy technician must simply be qualified (by either experience or on-the-job-training) and have a high-school diploma. Certain states have different requirements as far as certification (just an exam) or registration with their state's board of pharmacy (pay the fee). For instance, Texas requires all pharmacy technicians be certfied by the PTCB (Pharmacy Technician Certification Board) and register with the Texas State Board of Pharmacy. For more info, visit http://tsbp.state.tx.us or google search your state + "board of pharmacy" for the requirements. Have a great day. James Freeman, CPhT Victoria, TX cpht@jfcomputing.net
Pharmacy technicians certified by the PTCB must recertify every two years by completing required continuing education. #Flowercitypharmacy Sources

A pharmacist is licensed by the state pharmacology board. You must go to college to become a pharmacist and it's a very serious job as people will die if you screw up. A pharmacy technician works under a Pharmacist and has far less qualifications. You simply have to pass a certification test.
Currently as of March 2014, the PTCB or Pharmacy Technician Certification Board, does not require background checks. However, any criminal records you may have when applying must be fully disclosed.
