PTCB Expands Online Testing for Pharmacy Technician Certifications

The Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) has expanded online testing options for individuals pursuing the Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT) Certification and the Certified Compounded Sterile Preparation Technician (CSPT) Certification.

This move is part of PTCB's comprehensive plan to increase exam delivery options, providing flexibility and accessibility for pharmacy technicians.

The online proctored testing, available through the OnVUE platform, maintains rigorous standards and is administered on a secure platform with artificial intelligence and live virtual proctor supervision.

Both the CPhT and CSPT Certifications are crucial for pharmacy technicians, with the former being a widely recognized credential trusted by pharmacists.

The expansion aims to support the professional growth and development of pharmacy technicians, aligning with the evolving landscape of the pharmacy profession. In-person testing remains available for those who prefer it. More information and application details can be found on the PTCB website.
