Adding Fuel to the Fire! Another Exam!

January 18, 2008

Dear all,

I got this on my educator's site a couple of days ago. I wanted to

place the author's name here, but have been waiting for permission and

I feel it can no longer wait. So I place it here with out giving

credit or revealing the author. I have removed anything that links the

contents to the author:

" " Jeanetta, I am going to complicate things even further. There is an

organization called the National Center for Competency Training. The

Dayton, OH Campus of National College just got approved to be a

proctor site for this company. The NCCT's certification would

designate someone as an NCPhT, which I'm not sure if it is the same as

CPhT status or not. At any rate, I did check out their website and

this is what they require before a person sits to take this exam:

1) High School Graduation or GED

2) No record of a conviction or felony

3) MUST be a graduate of an approved program of study of Pharmacy

Technician curriculum or have at least 1 year of documented pharmacy

experience.

The one thing I do like about their program is that their test is

cheaper at $90 for a student. Also, their recertification process is

much more stringent. You have to complete 14 hours of NCCT CE credits

per year versus the 20 every 2 years with PTCB. I have not seen their

exam nor seen a practice exam. "

Okay folks! What do we do with this exam? According to the courts they

can be called CPhT! and do not even need to specify NCPhT! But guess

what? If the Ohio senator's law gets passed, it was proposed in

July 2007, there may be no allowing for PTCB =CPhT! ONLY NCPhT!

It gets better than this doesn't it? Are we having fun yet!

Love yas!
