[Guest guest]

To all CPhT's whose Certification expires on July 31 , 2005

From Todd Philbrick (trp@...)

Dear Certified Pharmacy Technician:

This e-mail is being sent as a reminder that your CPhT status

expires on July 31, 2005. To ensure that you receive your new

certificate by your expiration date, it is advised that you submit

your recertification application and fees by June 13, 2005.

Individuals who opt to recertify after this date will still receive

a new certificate; however, it may not received before the July 31st

expiration date.

The fee for technicians who recertify online at www.ptcb.org is $35,

and $50 for those technicians who apply for recertification using

the paper application.

The online recertification process has been available for PTCB

technicians since 2001 and has proven to be an effective tool for

technicians to reduce the time it takes to complete the

recertification process and receive their new certificates. By

accessing your MyPTCB account at www.ptcb.org you may obtain your

recertification status, update your address and contact information,

and complete the online recertification application. Free online CE

and the ability to print a paper recertification application is

available on the PTCB website as well.

Technicians who utilize the online recertification process benefit

by:

• Immediate e-mail confirmation of submission of your

recertification application;

• E-mail notification when your recertification application

has been approved and processed;

• A $15 discount on the recertification fee

• Ability to pay the recertification fee with a credit card or

check; and

• Receipt of your certificate up to three (3) weeks sooner

than the paper recertification process.

A postcard with your MyPTCB password was sent in December and a

paper recertification application has been mailed to the address we

have on file earlier this month. It is important that you keep your

street and e-mail address information current with the PTCB to

ensure delivery of your recertification materials. If you did not

receive your MyPTCB password or have misplaced it, you may obtain it

by calling 800-363-8012 or by clicking on " Password Help " in the

MyPTCB section of the PTCB website.

Requests for name changes must be faxed to PTCB at 202-429-7596 and

must be accompanied by appropriate documentation (copy of marriage

certificate, divorce decree, etc.). Recertification applications or

corrections are not accepted via fax.

Please share this information with your fellow CPhTs and post this

message at your pharmacy. Thank you for supporting the PTCB national

certification program.

Sincerely,

The PTCB Staff ---
