Continuing Education for Pharmacy Technicians in Texas

Renewals for the TSBP certification are required every 2 years, and are available to pay online 60 days prior to the expiration date, visit them online at… http://www.tsbp.state.tx.us/TexasOnLineRenewals.htm

Between each renewal period, you must meet one the following requirements:

  • Have completed 20 hours Continuing Education Credits (CEC)
  • And/or maintain a current certification with the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB)
In other words, Pharmacy Technicians that remain certified through PTCB will not be subject to CEC audits by TSBP.  If a technician does not maintain their certification with PTCB, then the technician will have to continue earning 20 CEC’s, and will be responsible for maintaining that information for their own records and future audits.

Through campus based and online programs, aspiring Pharmacy Techs in Houston, Dallas, Austin, Fort Worth, El Paso, Arlington, Corpus Christi, Plano, Laredo, Lubbock and Amarillo, Texas can prepare themselves for careers at some of the best hospitals and healthcare facilities in the country including the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, Memorial Hermann Hospital, CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital and Baylor Medical Centers.
