## Choosing the Right Path to Certification

As a pharmacist or pharmacy owner, you understand the importance of empowering your Pharmacy Technicians to truly thrive. With the increasing demands placed on pharmacies, you rely on your technicians to handle additional responsibilities. It comes as no surprise that this year, 40% of employers report that pharmacy technicians have even more on their plate compared to last year.

This is precisely why certification holds such great importance. In fact, you'll find that over 90% of employers either require or strongly encourage certification for pharmacy technicians. Obtaining a CPhT certification is not only a significant achievement but also a pivotal moment that will shape the future of your successful pharmacy technician.

## **Carolyn's Story**

Over the years, our ExCPT exam has helped thousands of people get hired and grow in their career as a pharmacy technician.

Every path to success is unique but the value of certification remains constant. For example, one ExCPT certification holder, Carolyn Mayer, found her career as a pharm tech later in life, after spending many years as a corporate travel agent. Carolyn took part in the first national certification program offered by her employer, so she prepared for her certification exam while also working.
