New PTCB Pharmacy Technician Testing Procedure
Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) Now Offers Continuous Testing And Immediate Pass/Fail Results
Starting on April 1, 2009 (and it wasn’t an April Fools joke!), the PTCB (Pharmacy Technician Certification Board) began a new system of testing. This on-demand testing with immediate results is a logical step forward for the certification process. It makes things easier and more efficient for the pharmacy technician. Slowly but surely all the pieces are coming together for a more consistent standard for pharmacy technicians nation-wide, and this will have a long-term positive effect on the pharmacy technician profession. It means more respect, better pay, better benefits and more opportunities.
