Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Dear All, A NEW PRESS RELEASE discusses the use of the letters: CPhT! Designation of the letters CPhT behind your name are no longer specific to PTCE/B exam test takers. CPhT means certified pharmacy technician just as RPh means registered pharmacist or RN means registered nurse. http://www.nationaltechexam.org/default.shtml From this point on which ever the test you take to certify you as a pharmacy technician will allow you to be called a certified pharmacy technician. However your state will determine which test or tests you may take to become certified. Here is an example: Currently in the state of Oregon you may become certified by taking either ICPT's ExCPT or PTCB's PTCE exam. Currently in the state of California you may graduate from a state approved pharmacy technician program or you may take PTCB's PTCE exam to become certified. Currently in the state of Texas you must complete a state training program and pass PTCB's PTCE. The NEWS Release can be read at: http://www.nationaltechexam.org/default.shtml Find the following headline and click on the appropriate 'button': CPhT An Appropriate Designation for All Certified Technicians Learn More...
