There are two ways to become certified—through the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) and through the National Healthcare Association (NHA). Check your state to see which form of certification is accepted. The PTCB and the NHA both require the taking of an exam prior to certification.
The PTCE consists of 90 questions and is arranged into nine knowledge domains:
- Medications
- Federal Regulations
- Patient Safety
- Quality Assurance
- Order Entry
- Order Processing
The ExCPT has 120 multiple choice questions and focuses on three general areas:
- Technician Duties
- Drug Products
- Dispensing Process
