PHARMACY TECHNICIAN CERTIFICATION:
There is no federal standard for training or competency, therefore obtaining certification is a valuable career step for Pharmacy Technicians

Once you pass the national certification examination , you WILL become a Certified Pharmacy Technician and can place the credentials of CPhT next to your name, have higher morale, lower turnover, greater productivity and the ability to earn more.
