The coronavirus pandemic has caused unprecedented disruption. Pharmacy technicians are working with other healthcare professionals, around the clock, to deliver much needed service to patients.
The pandemic has also affected the implementation of PTCB examinations.
Below, we spell out the changes that the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board have introduced to ensure that adequate testing takes place and that social distancing measures are maintained.
PTCB testing during COVID-19 will continue throughout 2020.
However, from 4 May 2020, an online PTCB assessment will now be available. This involves candidates taking the test online under the virtual supervision of an online proctor.
Furthermore, additional security measures have been introduced. Candidates will be expected to verify their ID, whilst face-recognition technology will also be in place. This ensures that the pharmacy technician exam takes place with the right candidate in the most secure way possible.
Candidates are also advised to bear the following points in mind:
If you are unsure of the system requirements to take the PTCB exam, you can learn more about these requirements on the official PTCB website.
Considering the personal and financial difficulties wrought by the pandemic, the PTCB board have decided to reduce fees for all exams.
The standard fee of the CPhT exam is $129; this has now been reduced to $115.
Whilst eliminating social distancing at exam centers, various test centers throughout the country will remain open.
This is subject to ongoing review to how the pandemic unfolds in each US state.
Test centers undergo routine disinfection procedures and candidates are expected to observe social distancing protocol. Furthermore, a limited number of candidates will be permitted into each exam center at any one time.
