How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

Mention your daily script volume, such as "dispensed 150+ scripts a day"; it shows you can handle pressure.
Write "SAPC Post-Basic" or "SAPC Basic" right next to your name on the CV; this is the first filter.
