Should I take the PTCE or the ExCPT?

It is our recommendation to take the PTCE. While the overwhelming opinion is that the ExCPT is easier, your state and/or future employer may not recognize it, as it hasn’t been around as long as the PTCE. Both are accredited exams; however the PTCE is widely accepted while the ExCPT is not. A person who is capable of passing the PTCE is capable of passing the ExCPT, and it is because of this that our site will prepare you for both.

Do you administer the Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam (PTCE)?

No.  We do not administer the PTCE or the ExCPT.  Please click on the links provided to sign up or for more information on either exam after the completion of our course. We offer preparatory materials to ensure your success on the PTCE.

Is RxTechExam a Recognized PTCB Training Program?

Yes. Our Platinum Course is a PTCB-Recognized Training Program. This is a requirement for anyone who takes the PTCB Exam after January 1st, 2020.

What do I have to do to become nationally licensed?

To be eligible to take the PTCB Exam you must first take a PTCB-Recognized Education/Training Program (RxTechExam.com) or work a minimum of 500 hours as a Pharmacy Technician.

Do I need to take a state exam after your course and the PTCE?

In most cases the only action required after passing the PTCE is to register with your state.  Once again due to varying state regulations you’ll need to check with your state’s board of pharmacy.  Click here for more information about your state’s requirements.

I’m state certified, why should I take the PTCE?
