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

Standard Renewal Requirements

Every Virginia registered pharmacy technician must complete 5 contact hours (0.5 CEU) of continuing education each year to satisfy registration renewal — a state requirement that applies regardless of your national certification status. Virginia pharmacy technician registrations expire December 31 of every year, for every technician regardless of when they were originally registered, with no proration of the 5-hour requirement even when a technician’s first renewal period runs longer than a year. Up to 1 of the 5 hours may be satisfied through uncompensated pharmacy services to low-income patients.

National certification through PTCB or NHA is required as a one-time prerequisite to registration itself, but does not substitute for or exempt a technician from the annual 5-hour state continuing education requirement.

Verification and Reporting

Virginia pharmacy technicians self-certify compliance on the renewal application, retain documentation for 2 years following renewal, and produce it to the Board upon request. Renewal requires an e-Profile number issued by NABP. 18VAC110-21-180 , 18VAC110-21-170
