Description
Take advantage of a limited time price on RxTechExam’s newest PTCB-Recognized Course. It is a complete redesign using everything we’ve learned over the last 10 years training over 15,000 students to pass the PTCB Exam. This course was built you to master the 2024 PTCB knowledge areas. Upon passing the course you’ll receive a Completion Certificate necessary to take the Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam (PTCE).
There are 9 course modules with over 1000 practice questions. Each module begins with an on-demand (and searchable) video and is supplemented with a practice module quiz that shares the question bank with the graded module quiz, but can be taken an unlimited number of times. There are outlines, reference documents, electronic flashcard sets embedded in Quizlet, external references, and much more.
You’ll be given 5 months from the date of purchase to complete the course, but most of our students finish the curriculum in 4-6 weeks. Some students have reported completing the course and the PTCE in as little as a couple weeks.
When you pass the Final Exam, and achieve a cumulative passing score, you are awarded our Certificate of Completion (a prerequisite for the PTCB Exam).
We guarantee that you will be successful on the PTCB Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam after studying with this course – or we will refund your course cost.
Course Layout
Our course contains 9 modules, each containing a series of instructional videos, which are paired with quizzes, simulations, electronic flash-cards, and other learning aids to reinforce key exam objectives. We cover every element of the 2024 PTCB Exam and last year 123CPhT students achieved an 82% PTCB pass rate.
Introduction to Pharmacy
In this chapter we will discuss what pharmacy is, the different types of pharmacies and pharmacy personnel, the roles of pharmacy personnel, qualities of successful pharmacy technicians, and the basic principles of becoming a pharmacy technician.
Medications & Terminology
The Medical Terminology chapter will set you up with the foundation to speak the pharmacy “language”. To become certified as a pharmacy technician you are responsible for memorizing the Top 200 Medications that are dispensed each year, including their brand name, generic name, medication class, and DEA schedule.
Pharmacology
The Pharmacology chapter will focus on the body and how the body uses medications to achieve their desired effect. During this chapter you will learn about anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, pharmaceutics, and pharmacokinetics while building upon the concepts and medications you learned about in Medical Terminology.
Preparing Prescriptions
Now that we know all about the body and the medications that we use, we will learn about how to prepare prescriptions. This chapter will cover interpreting, preparing, and dispensing prescriptions. This chapter will also cover pharmacy benefits management, sometimes known as insurance billing.
Pharmacy Calculations
This chapter will cover pharmacy calculations. This includes all of the calculations that you may use as a pharmacy technician, including those on the PTCE!
Patient Care Process
This chapter will discuss a concept called the “Pharmacists’ Patient Care Process”, and your role in that process.
Inventory Management
Part of your role as a pharmacy technician will be to help handle inventory.
This chapter will focus on the handling of pharmacy inventory, including medication ordering, returns, and recalls.
Compounding
The compounding chapter is going to introduce you to the process of creating custom medications for patients. You will learn about sterile and non-sterile compounding, including common equipment and techniques.
Regulations
The regulations chapter will solidify the information you’ve learned thus far while also reminding you of the workplace safety and regulatory pieces that contribute to your career. We will discuss common pharmacy organizations and laws, as well as how to get you both certified and licensed as a pharmacy technician!

I’m proud to report receiving a preliminary “pass” of the PTCB exam on February 4th.
This course and the study aids offered on Quizlet were very instrumental in my successfully completing all 90 questions with enough time to review all of my answers. I will be keeping my Quizlet subscription active because it’s a great resource.
I know several Pharmacy Technician trainees who are having difficulty passing the exam. I am definitely recommending RxTechExam to anyone looking to become certified.
Many thanks for curating a great learning experience and for providing your students with a wealth of knowledge and information!
Jenna DeForrest (verified student) –
Very comprehensive and rigorously graded course! I was extremely prepared for the PTCE exam.
Esther Dela Cruz (verified student) –
A little background first. I’m in high school and I’ve never had any experience in the pharmacy. However, I wanted to become a CPhT so that I could work in the pharmacy and get into nursing school. I completed this course in three months, and spent an additional week studying for the PTCE. If you want to pass first try (without experience in the pharmacy), you will definitely need to self study and have lots of discipline. For me, I used 123CPhT, AmandaPharmD, Pocket Prep App, and tons of flashcards to study. I also bought the practice exam from PTCB. It was a lot of work, but I PASSED THE PTCE FIRST TRY!!! So definitely, this course is way worth it. Wishing you the best in your career!
