CA underway to evaluate ExCPT and PTCB exams

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

The state of California is trying to determine for itself, even though a court

of law has deemed they are equivalent and either can lead to the CPhT desigated

title by passing it, if the PTCE and the ExCPT exams are indeed equivalent.

If so then CA will allow the use of either ExCPT or PTCB exam to acquire a pharm

tech registration.

It has been argued that they would be better off spending the money on

legislation making it a requirement to attend/graduate from an accredited pharm

tech program before taking the certification exam.

News or results are expected in early summer 2011.

Hope this helps someone,
