Any claims concerning approval, affiliation, recognition, course duration, or approved intake should be read in conjunction with the relevant current official documentation.

3.4 No Guarantee of Outcomes

Information about pharmacy education, career opportunities, practical training, or other educational benefits is provided for general guidance.

The college does not guarantee employment, a particular salary, examination results, or any specific professional outcome merely because an individual visits the website, makes an enquiry, or enrols in a course.

We are not responsible for changes to external content or for the independent operation of third-party websites, subject to applicable law.

This disclaimer does not override applicable statutory obligations, binding regulatory requirements, or the college’s responsibilities under any separately issued official document or agreement.
