Advocate Educator Program

By year-end, 1,370 organizations participated in the Advocate Educator Program, which is open to all educators committed to quality certification and advancing medication safety. These institutions include community colleges, universities, high schools, technical schools, employer training programs, health alliances, and career centers. By choosing PTCB, they support quality certification and are assured their PTCB-Certified students are credentialed by the nation’s leading certifying body. PTCB Certification provides a sense of accomplishment for students which benefits the patients they serve, and educators participating in the program will encourage technician students to achieve and maintain their PTCB Certifications.

The PTCE is a challenging exam, and we are open about that. Patient safety demands rigor. We publish extensive detail about the PTCB Programs and exams.

Sponsorship

Sponsorship is a simple way for employers and educators to pay for pharmacy technician employees or students to earn or renew PTCB Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT) Certification or Certified Compounded Sterile Preparation Technician™ (CSPT™) Certification. Sponsorship saves educators and employers time and offers a valuable benefit to their employees or students.

  • Eliminates need to reimburse technicians
  • Helps with compliance
  • Provides detailed reporting
  • Ends cumbersome paperwork
  • Offers a valuable benefit to pharmacy technician employees and students

PTCB’s Sponsorship Portal gives sponsors access to manage their pharmacy technician candidates, add and withdraw sponsorship, and create their own confidential reporting so they can view and track pass/fail exam results of your sponsored test-takers.

Becoming a sponsor is free. The only cost incurred is the cost of sponsored candidates’ exam or recertification fees.
