How hard this is to fill
For one manager
You are staffing one counter or one hospital pharmacy, not a health system. The technician you want can walk to the pharmacy down the street, so the offer has to work on this block.
Ask whether they have filled under a pharmacist in a setting like yours, and whether this state requires registration. A PTCB or NHA certificate is not that registration.
License and training
A PTCB CPhT or an NHA ExCPT is a national certificate, and it is not a state license. Some states require registration, some require the certificate, and some require neither. Confirm the current rule with that state's board of pharmacy before you treat the certificate as enough.

A PTCB CPhT or an NHA ExCPT is a national certificate, and it is not the Florida registration by itself. Confirm the current rule with the Florida board of pharmacy before you count the certificate as enough.

The pharmacist still checks the medication before it leaves, whether or not the state registers the technician.
