(Who's got the money and time for that nonsense?)Īll these jokers that tell you that you need to go through an ASHP Certified Program, haven't a clue what they are talking about. These are going to cost between $800 and $24,000 and take anywhere from 5 weeks to 2 years. The trend now is to attend a Career College or For-Profit school. About half the people that try to self-study don't pass the exam, have to wait 30 days, pay another $130 and retake it (this is from my experience working in and around a Pharmacy for 14 years as a Technician, Trainer, and Instructor). ![]() Some people are able to go to Amazon and buy a textbook that will help them. ![]() There is another exam, the ExCPt, that is easier but much LESS respected. The exam isn't easy, especially if you struggle with Math, and it's about $130. ![]() It seems as though every Pharmacy Tech blog on Indeed begins in one direction and everyone ends up asking the same question - What do I have to do to become Nationally Certified?Īs far as the prerequisites go, to become a Nationally Certified Pharmacy Technician, all you'll need to do is pass the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board's (PTCB) Exam.
