Pharmacy Technician Certification News
Effective November 1, 2009, the Alabama State Board of Pharmacy recognized the Institute for the Certification of Pharmacy Technicians (ICPT) as an accredited organization for certified pharmacy technician testing. ICPT offers the ExCPT exam, which is recognized by the National Organization for Competency Assurance and the National Association of Chain Drug Stores as a psychometrically sound pharmacy technician certification exam.
Technicians in the state of Alabama now have another option for gaining certified pharmacy technician (CPhT) status. For more information on the ExCPT exam you can visit the ICPT website at www.nationaltechexam.org.
