I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.

I appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.

I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.

Additional information

First-time renewal – Newly licensed Illinois pharmacy technicians owe no CE the first time around; simply renew and pay the fee by March 31.
idfpr.illinois.gov
Certification path – All tech licenses issued after Dec 31 2007 must convert to “Certified Pharmacy Technician” (CPhT) by the second renewal (24 months). Becoming certified means passing the PTCB or ExCPT exam and maintaining that national credential for every future renewal.
idfpr.illinois.gov
Immunization authority – A pharmacy technician may administer vaccines in Illinois only when:
- They already hold the Certified designation (active PTCB or ExCPT).
- They successfully complete an IDFPR-approved, hands-on immunization-training course + current CPR/BLS before giving the first shot.
- They vaccinate patients age 7 or older under the direct supervision of a pharmacist immunizer and pursuant to a physician’s order or standing protocol.
  ilga.gov
- Note: Illinois rules do not add extra CE hours for immunizing techs beyond the 10-hour requirement, but you must keep proof of vaccine-training completion on site.
