From the transcript
Yeah. So in Alaska specifically, at the age of 16, you are able to get a pharmacy technician license through the state of Alaska. You just apply for it. It does cost some money and you'll have to fill out some information, but this is not like a certification necessarily that requires any training or schooling. This is simply just a license saying that you, you are licensed within the state of Alaska to be a pharmacy technician.
