The national pharmacy technician certification exam, ExCPT, wins approval by the Delaware Board of Pharmacy
29-Apr-2010
The Delaware Board of Pharmacy voted to approve the national certification exam, ExCPT, at their March 17, 2010 meeting.
The Delaware Code
defines a certified pharmacy technician as a person who has passed an
exam recognized by the Board. Although certification is completely
voluntary, technicians are encouraged to gain this national recognition
of their knowledge and skills.
The ExCPT has been approved by 26
Boards of Pharmacy and is an option in another 17 states. Testing is
available in two locations in Delaware and an additional 8 locations
within 60 miles. With over 550 test locations across the county,
technicians can find a convenient location.
Candidates may register by calling
LaserGrade at 1-800-211-2753. Exams can be taken within one or two days
of registration and results are available immediately upon completion
of the exam. The Exam fee is $105.
