National PTCB Pharmacy Technician Education

The Pharmacy Technician Certification Board recognized course puts you on the path to earn National Pharmacy Technician Certification. This course consists of:

Seven online learning modules specific to PTCB knowledge domains.
A virtual or in-person workshop for active-learning

There are many unique aspects to this course such as the ability to complete modules at your own pace in an on-demand format. However, the true strength of the course lies with the experts who provide content delivery. A group of nine University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Pharmacy faculty who are experts within their topic field have prepared content material that is pertinent, innovative, and informative. Module content also includes industry professional guest lecturers who practice in various pharmacy settings.

Academic Integrity

Course Completion

Maintaining academic integrity is a vital concern of the College of Pharmacy and the UNMC academic community at large. Without strict adherence to the standards of academic integrity, the teaching and learning environment loses validity. Honesty and integrity are a major part of the fabric of professional and ethical standards. An individual claiming to follow professional and ethical codes of conduct would also be expected to adhere to the standards of academic integrity.

In order to successfully complete the course, participants are expected to:

View the online lecture and demonstration video
Review the handouts
Complete and earn a minimum score of 90% on module and workshop checkpoint assessments
Complete skills workshop

While this is a complete at your own pace course, completion within four months from start date is expected. However, we recognize that special circumstances may warrant an extension on completion time.

Program Cost

National PTCB-approved Certification Course fee	$950
A $5 online learning access fee will be added to the above (required for all courses).
Pharmacy technicians employed with Nebraska Medicine receive a $10 discount.
Payment in full is required at the time of enrollment.
