Technician Training Requirements

Texas state law requires all technicians to be registered. Technicians who are not currently certified are listed as "Technicians in Training” and expected to become certified within one year. TPA offers many options to help technicians prepare for the PTCB certification exam and Texas State Board of Pharmacy registration.
