PTCE and becoming a certified pharmacy technician.
The Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam (PTCE) is administered by the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB). This certification is a critical step for pharmacy technicians, allowing them to work in a variety of pharmacy settings, including retail, hospital, and specialty pharmacies.
To be eligible for the PTCE, candidates must have completed a pharmacy technician training program accredited by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) or have equivalent work experience as required by the PTCB. The PTCE consists of 90 multiple-choice questions, of which 80 are scored and 10 are unscored pretest questions. Candidates have 2 hours to complete the exam. The passing score is a scaled score of 1,400 out of 1,600. The PTCE certification is valid for two years. To maintain certification, pharmacy technicians must complete 20 hours of continuing education, including one hour of pharmacy law, and apply for recertification before the credential expires.
