Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hi, I took the pharmacy technician test and passed last week. What's the next step to becoming certified? I tried to register as a pharmacy technician on the Texas State Board of Pharmacy website, however it asked for my certification # and expiration date, but I didn't have it. Am I suppose to wait for a certificate to be mailed to my home, and then register with the State Board right? After I register, I believe I need to get a finger print. How long will all of this take to process? Sincerely, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Dear , There are several members from Texas who I am hoping will answer your question more specifically regarding Texas law. But in general: YES you now need to wait for your PTCB Certificate to arrive in the mail. You can go on the PTCB websiteto see that you have passed the exam and of course the testing center has already let you know that you have passed. Now I have to say unless this has changed, I thought you had to have at least 6 months of on the job training in Texas before you could take the PTCB exam and that you could take it only 2 or 3 times max. Please correct me and let us know the specifics 'anyone'! In most states where fingerprinting is required, you would get fingerprinted BEFORE or AT the SAME TIME you are APPLYING for registration as part of the application process, NOT afterwards! One must PASS the fingerprint background check (if required by their state) in order to get registered and to work as a tech. IF your state does not require fingerprints, then this point is moot. have you ever done any pharm tech on the job training ?
