Pre-registration Pharmacist Training Course Information
The Buttercups Training pre-registration programmes can be tailored to meet your pre-registration pharmacists' needs. We can provide anything from a half day session on a particular topic to a comprehensive programme delivered over 10 months.
We also offer distance learning modules for pre-registration pharmacists on a range of topics which complement the syllabus requirements for the registration exam. For further information and a price list please click here.
The programmes are led by a team of experienced pharmacists who understand the pressures of the pre-registration year and the importance of developing the responsible and professional attitude expected of a registered pharmacist, in addition to passing the registration assessment (formerly the registration examination).

"The course content was superb! Every aspect of the course materials was excellent. Hannah was an excellent tutor in every aspect. I really enjoyed and got loads out of each session. The notes and calculations were very useful."
- Vasilios Diamantios
"We covered a thorough overview of all topics needed for the exam, identified relevant areas and points that may not have otherwise been brought to my attention. The course was delivered in a way that was relevant and easy to understand and we were able to go back over any points that caused confusion. We had a very approachable tutor - both during the study days and in between and so provided a useful resource. The tutor had an excellent knowledge of all subjects. I was able to answer a question I came across in a past paper."
- Hannah Almond
