Don't know the current number. But check out the section on pharmacy technicians in the latest Readlinks from the College. According to them, they expect up to 5000 registered techs by 2015. They are taking into account those assistants that will complete a bridging program too.

Last I recall, there are roughly 3000 pharmacists in total registered with the College. How pathetic is that that the College of Pharmacists will have more (or equal) certified techs? What happens by 2020? Maybe the College should consider changing their name to College of Pharmacy Technicians & pharmacists.
