However, per the Texas State Board of Pharmacy (TSBP) : Technicians may not independently perform sterile compounding until they have completed required training and passed documented competency evaluations (competency evaluations are performed internally by SRC Pharmacy Staff). During the training period, they must work under direct supervision and may not compound sterile products on their own. There is no set number of days allowed for pre-certification work; the emphasis is on documented competency, not time in role. While not regulated by TSBP, IV certification programs are commonly completed within 30 to 60 days, and rarely take more than 90 days when scheduled promptly. Local ACPE- and ASHP-accredited programs make it feasible for new hires to meet certification requirements within a typical onboarding window.
