If you were taken on as a trainee pharmacy technician with no qualifications, the time you spent doing work experience during training cannot count now as 'previous work experience', because you were not at the time a SKILLED worker.
Your post qualification work experience CAN be counted once there is enough of it to earn you the points.
If you had some qualification in pharmacy, even if at a lower level, or had done enough work unqualified beforehand so that it could substitute for paper qualification, in that case your work experience during training CAN be counted, because you already had some skill.
