Certified Pharmacy Technician Educators (CPTEds) are required to recertify every two (2) years to maintain certification. The CPTEd expiration month and day are the same for all certificants, August 31. During each two (2) year recertification cycle, CPTEds are required to complete a minimum of ten (10) hours of continuing education (CE) in education and instruction subject matter. For reinstatement candidates, ten (10) hours of qualifying CE in education and instruction subject matter must be completed.
CPTEds must complete all continuing education hours within the two (2) year recertification cycle (on or before the expiration date). No CE hours completed before certification is granted may be used to satisfy recertification requirements. In addition, CE hours cannot carry over to a future recertification cycle.
