Introduction: Professional training for pharmacists programme, based on the Croatian Competency Framework (CCF), enables students to further develop competencies acquired at the Faculty, in their everyday work.

Methods: In this prospective, observational study, all students attending Professional programme training for pharmacists in the period from January 2016 to March 2017, and their pharmacist- preceptors were recruited. The data were collected by using the CCF, validated tool for assessment and self-assessment of pharmacists' competencies (1). All students were assessed and self-assessed themselves at 6 months on a four-point scale indicating how often they demonstrated each behaviour, i.e. "rarely "sometimes", "usually" to "consistently". Results: Students (n=129) that self-assessed themselves and were assessed by their pharmacists- preceptors were predominantly female (n=111, 86, 0 %), with a median age of 24 (23-27) years. In all competencies, except "Organization" (3, 41 ± 0, 822 vs 3, 62 ± 0, 532, respectively) and "Finance management" (3, 02 ± 0, 991 vs 3, 06 ± 0, 931, respectively) the average grades awarded by pharmacists-preceptors were higher than those from students' self-assessment.
