You can be certified as a Pharmacy Technician if you 1) Graduated from high school or have a GED/ equivalent, 2) disclose all, if any, criminal actions, 3) comply with PTCB certification policies, and 4) have about $130 to take and pass the Pharmacy Technician Certification test! 

The test is divided up into these categories:

Pharmacology for Technicians: 13.75%

Pharmacy Law and Regulations: 12.50%

Sterile and Non-sterile Compounding: 8.75%

Medication Safety: 12.50%

Pharmacy Quality Assurance: 7.50%

Medication Order Entry and Fill Process: 17.50%

Pharmacy Inventory Management: 8.75%

Pharmacy Billing and Reimbursement: 8.75%

Pharmacy Information Systems Usage and Application: 10.00%

The test itself is about 1 hour and 50 minutes long, and will be scored between 1000 and 1600 (a 1400 or higher is a passing score). 

Pharmacy Technicians can work anywhere from grocery stores to hospitals, and they are in demand in every space with people who need to take medications. It will pay to work as a certified pharmacy technician, especially in your early years to build your resume, as it pays above minimum wage and can give flexibility in hours depending on the place you work at, while you study in university. Plus, it’s an almost guaranteed job in the AC.
