What is RxTechExam.com?

RxTechExam’s sole purpose is to provide the knowledge and materials to prepare our clients to pass the National Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam (PTCE). More information is available to you under the tab About Us.

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.  Unfortunately we are unable to administer either 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.
