Once a technician is registered with TSBP, they may choose whether or not to maintain their PTCB certification. Two advantages of maintaining their PTCB certification is that they will not be subject to CE audits by TSBP. In addition, the PTCB certification is recognized nationally should the technician move to another state. TOP Are pharmacy technicians required to obtain continuing education? A pharmacy technician will not be subject to CE audits by TSBP if they remain certified through PTCB. If a technician does not maintain their PTCB certification, the technician will continue earning 20 CEs; however, the technician will maintain that information. Should the technician be among those randomly audited by TSBP, the technician will be notified by mail of the documentation to be submitted.
