Disclaimer Related to our 120-Hours to CPhT Online Course and Eligibility to Practice as a Pharmacy Technician
Our course is recognized by the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board as an official training program. Accordingly, passing our course will make you eligible to sit for the Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam (PTCE). This does not indicate that passing our course will make you eligible to practice as a pharmacy technician. Each State Board of Pharmacy has specific requirements related to eligibility to practice as a pharmacy technician. These requirements can include, but are not limited to, any combination of licensure, board certification, and fulfillment of stringent training programs or other practice experiences. Please familiarize yourself with the requirements in the state(s) in which you are seeking to practice as a pharmacy technician. This course is intended to provide you with the didactic knowledge required of a certified pharmacy technician but is not purporting to make you eligible to practice as a pharmacy technician. Our program is not accredited by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, and we do not hold any state or federal accreditations as an educational institution.
Limitations and Disclaimers Related to the Pharmacy Tech Scholar Educational Offerings
While we make every effort to ensure the information included in our course is accurate, it is not intended to serve as a reference for the practice of a pharmacy technician.

Users of our course must seek and attain on-the-job training prior to practicing independently as a pharmacy technician.
Activities of pharmacy technicians are governed by federal laws, state laws, rules and regulations, and/or pharmacy practice acts set at the state level, generally by a board of pharmacy.
