Licensure
LAVI’s programs for professions that require licensure or certification are intended to prepare the student for California licensure and certification requirements. Admission into programs for professions that require licensure and certification does not guarantee that students will obtain a license or certificate. Licensure and certification requirements are set by agencies that are not controlled by or affiliated with LAVI and licensure and certification requirements can change at any time.
LAVI has not determined whether its programs meet other states’ educational or professional requirements for licensure and certification. Students planning to pursue licensure or certification in other states are responsible for determining whether, if they complete a LAVI program, they will meet their state’s requirements for licensure or certification.
The Board of Pharmacy protects, promotes and advocates for the health and safety of Californians by pursuing the highest quality of pharmacist's care and the appropriate use of pharmaceuticals through education, communication, licensing, legislation, regulation and enforcement. LAVI’s Pharmacy Technician program is approved by the BOP for the Pharmacy Technician License.
