REGISTRATION RENEWAL STEPS FOR REGISTERED PHARMACY TECHNICIANS
*If you are a CERTIFIED Pharmacy Technician then you must follow the steps indicated to you by the SC
Board of Pharmacy to renew this type of advanced Pharmacy Technician certification.*
NABP e-Profile Creation (Complete immediately if have not previously done so)
Pharmacy Technicians and Pharmacists are required to set up a profile through the National Association
of Boards of Pharmacy that will be used to track Continuing Education Requirements you complete each
year. You will need to do the following:
Step #1: Visit the following website and set up your NABP e-profile
http://www.nabp.net/programs/cpe-monitor/cpe-monitor-service/technicians
Step #2: Save this created NABP number in an easily accessible location
Step #3: Use this number any time asked for your “NABP Number “ when registering for Continuing
Education activities
Continuing Education (CE) Specifications (All CE hours must be completed prior to renewing your
Pharmacy Technician Registration before June 30)

Ten hours of ACPE or CME category-1 continuing education are required each license year for
renewal. Of the 10 hours, a minimum of 4 hours must be “live” hours. CE must be taken before
renewing a registration each year.
o Remember that “live” hours can be in the format of a live webinar where you can ask
questions or where you physically attend live in person.

There are no exemptions to the CE requirement for technicians.

Technicians may take CE that is designated for pharmacists (P) or technicians (T). Example: CE
designated for Pharmacists will have a “P” in the UAN number 430-000-092-021-L01-P

Use the ACPE UAN# to determine if a CE is live (L), home (H) or combination (C). Example: Live
CE will have an “L” in the UAN number 430-000-092-021-L01-T.

All CME-Category 1 hours are live hours.
