Register for a Board-approved online training program now:

Updated May 29, 2026

California Designated Representative Training Programs - Approved by the California State Board of Pharmacy

Are You Applying For A Designated Representative License?

If you're applying for a California Designated Representative license, then you'll need to include proof of required training (specifically, a training affidavit) in your license application packet. Earn a training affidavit by taking any one of our approved California Designated Representative training courses.

Each online course confers a Board-recognized training affidavit.

Here's Why You Should Take An "Approved" Training Program Or Course

The California Designated Representative Application - Training Affidavit Form specifies:

  • "The individual applying for a designated representative license in California has completed an approved training program required by Section 4053(b)(3) of the California Business and Professions Code that addressed ..."
  • That the training affidavit must "be completed by the person having direct knowledge of the applicant’s training. The applicant may not verify his/her own training."

The Board is essentially saying:

  • If applicants attempt self-study, or take "home-grown" training that isn't Board-approved, the submitted training program won't be accepted.
  • Let the buyer beware! If you need a Board-approved training course, make sure the program being offered is officially approved and accepted by the Board of Pharmacy.
