AUDITS:

A certain number of Certified Pharmacy Technicians (CPhTs) will be chosen at random for an audit of continuing education. If you are audited, please list all continuing education hours on the application AND send photocopies of the certificates of participation and the PTCB Universal Continuing Education Form(s). All continuing education documentation should be kept at least one year beyond your certification expiration date. CPhTs may be audited at any time at the discretion of PTCB. Audit candidates may not recertify online; therefore the Audit application fee is $35. Only those randomly selected as audits may complete the audit applications

FEES:

Recertification fees in the amount of $50 in the form of a check (personal, corporate, or certified) or money order are to be included with your paper application. Alternatively, completion of an online application recertification application requires a payment of $35 with a credit card or eCheck. Credit card and eCheck payments are only available for online recertification applicants. Any recertification applications received after the postmark deadline must include an additional late fee of $15, for a total of $65 for paper recertification applications and $50 for online recertification applications. Returned applications require a $10 reprocessing fee.
