As of May 14, 2019, all PTCB recertification continuing education credit will be reported through the national database CPE Monitor. Any participants seeking CPE credit must have an NABP eProfile ID as required by NABP, ACPE and PTCB.

You will not be able to take tests without obtaining your NABP e-Profile ID first.

The CPE Monitor is a national, collaborative effort by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) and the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education that allows pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to track their completed CPE credits in a central system.

PTCB is now connected to the CPE Monitor database so your CPE Monitor account will be accessible for your PTCB recertification. This connection is designed to allow CE hours entered into your CPE Monitor account to simultaneously be recorded in your PTCB Account. As a CPhT it is important that you log into your https://nabp.pharmacy/cpe-monitor-service/ to be sure your NABP e-Profile is set up correctly, and then check to be sure your PTCB Certification number is reflected. All pharmacy technicians must register for CPE Monitor by October 2019, if they have not already done so.
