Course Description

Becoming a pharmacy technician is a simpler path than most students think. While many students are convinced that becoming certified involves months of schooling -currently this is NOT the case. To become a certified pharmacy technician an individual must: 1. Register with the PTCB or ExCPT to take a certification exam. Most states require the PTCB, but the ExCPT is accepted in many states. 2. Study the required material to pass the PTCB or ExCPT examination. (Note: Studying for the exam can be a part of a lengthy/costly college course, but is not required - a simple online video course will be sufficient ) 3. Pass your exam! 4. Register with your respective State Board of Pharmacy. We provide the web URL for all 50 State Boards of Pharmacy to make registering easy! This course is designed to help students learn the concepts needed to become a certified pharmacy technician (C. Ph.
T).

Is very helpful, the teacher explained everything very clear

By Catherine Wood on 11/8/2020

The links to external pages are old. None of the pages exist anymore. None of the 'Resources' are available in PDF form as is shown in the explanations. I feel I am not getting what I paid for if I have to go searching the internet in hopes of finding similar PDF files.

By Meaghan Manning on 9/18/2020

I grew up with my mother being the RN and my father working as a RPh. A lot of this information is a review for me from when I was studying to be a Veterinary Assistant/Technician. I am looking forward to applying all of my knowledge to an everyday career helping the patient, pharmacist,etc.
