If you will be training to become a drug checking technician in BC and are currently affiliated with an organization that will support you, this webinar series will be the first step in your certification. After completing the webinar series, you will work with an experienced technician for a minimum of 30 hands-on shadowing hours to complete your practicum, further building on what you learned from this series . Once these hours are completed, you will be eligible to write the final practical exam to officially complete the training process.
Please note that you must have an arrangement with an organization prior to starting this webinar series in order to be supported for your practicum. Unfortunately, the BCCSU is unable to oversee your shadowing or connect you with an organization after you have completed the webinar series.
The webinar series takes about three hours to complete. If you have questions about the webinar series, please email us at drugchecking@bccsu.ubc.ca.
After completing the webinar series, you can also register for the Drug Checking Technician Training program.
