Abstract: Background: The Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale (SCLC) is widely used to measure satisfaction and self-confidence in learning. The 13-item scale includes two subscales: satisfaction with education (5 items) and self-confidence in learning (8 items), rated on a 5-point Likert scale. However, no validated Dutch version existed for pharmacy technicians, a group increasingly involved in complex healthcare roles. This study aimed to translate, adapt, and validate the SCLC for use among Dutch pharmacy technicians. Methods: The SCLC was translated into Dutch following cross-cultural adaptation guidelines, including forward and back-translation by three bilingual experts. The questionnaire was administered to pharmacy technicians at Erasmus MC. Internal consistency was assessed using Composite Reliability (CR) and Average Variance Extracted (AVE). A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) evaluated construct validity. Results: A total of 129 pharmacy technicians completed the questionnaire. CFA indicated a good fit for a two-factor model, with a statistically significant Chi-square (p
