Best Answer:
Which state? Check with your state Board of Pharmacy.
Pharmacy Technician minimum age "Regulations/Rules" vary by state.
Example of one state "registration" requirement:
Maryland = Be 17 years old or older (10.34.34.04)
The PTCB (Pharmacy Technician Certification Board) offers a Pharmacy Technician exam (PTCE).
One PTCE application requirement is that you possess a "High School Diploma or its equivalent".
Once you pass the exam you may use the designation of CPhT (Certified Pharmacy Technician).

Note: Some states require a Pharmacy Technician to be PTCB certified.

You'd have to check with the licensing board in your particular state.
