Technicians in Colorado earn an average of $20 to $23 per hour, with metropolitan areas like Denver typically offering higher wages.
In Colorado, pharmacy technicians must fulfill all requirements for national certification (training, exam, and background check) before state registration. Once certified and registered, technicians may practice under pharmacist supervision, up to a ratio of six techs per pharmacist. Continuing education is required only to uphold national certification, which Colorado deems essential for maintaining state registration.
