In 1999, we released the first complete certified pharmacy technician study course on interactive CDROM. We also made this great program available on-line to web subscribers. Now our students could access a top quality, complete, certified pharmacy tech program right over their own computer!

     In 2000, we published the first complete certified pharmacy technician textbook designed to allow the student to study at home and pass the PTCB certification test on their first try. Our book was the first to contain ALL of the necessary information, eliminating the need for multiple books covering each individual subject area. Now, a student could purchase a single book and pass the PTCB exam!

     Since those days, we have continued to upgrade and improve our products. We have expanded our product line to include study aids like our Top 200 Drug Flash Cards and On-Line Practice Problem Site. We have also begun bringing our live technician classes to cities around the United States and offering our program with true distance learning capabilities.

     Our materials are written in a manner that makes them appropriate for students of any educational background or experience level. Whether you are new to pharmacy or are already a technician and are looking for the best PTCB preparation, the PharmacyTrainer course is perfect for you!

     The self-study course is derived from our years of experience at teaching live technician classes. We have incorporated a style of writing that makes you feel as if the concepts and tasks you learn are being taught to you by an instructor sitting right next to you.

     Since we publish our own books, you get the most recent information on the day your book was purchased! There is no lag time before printing.

     With other company's traditionally published textbooks there can be more than a year lag time before the author stops writing and the book is available to you in print. Then, the information is stagnant for the life of the book version. If a book was published three years ago, and it took a year to get into print, you would be buying four year old information! This is simply unacceptable. What about the changes that have occurred during that time period? You would have no idea!

     Our Self-Study course is available in three formats - Print Book, Interactive CDROM, or Interactive Web Program - that allow you to choose the one that will work best for you.

     The PharmacyTrainer Self-Study Course contains over a thousand sample problems for you to solve. Use the clearly explained examples and follow step-by-step to dissect the problem and learn the mechanics of the math. Use the chapter quizzes to be sure you have learned the important points that each chapter contains. Use the section tests to be sure you are retaining the knowledge you have gained. Use the math tests to be sure you know how and when to use each pharmacy calculation method. And use the final examination as a practice PTCB examination.

     Even the most "math-phobic" of students have praised our course in its coverage of pharmacy math. We begin with a review of the basic mathematical functions of fractions, decimals, and roman numerals, and introduce the math as it is needed in your learning journey. When you learn about interpreting the drug order, you will learn calculations that have to do with dispensed quantities and drug dosing. When you learn about payment for drug products, you will learn how to calculate selling price, mark-up, and insurance pricing. When you study IV products, you will learn about flow rates and drip rates. And so on.

     We do not throw the entire math content at you in a single chapter and hope you get it. We help you understand when and why you need it, what formulas to use, and how to calculate it.

     Other companies charge you hundreds of dollars more to provide you a refund of the testing fee if you fail the test. Let's take a closer look. Charge you hundreds more in case they have to refund you $120 if you fail? And once again, you have to wait until you fail.

     At PharmacyTrainer, we guarantee our product up front. After you receive the product you inspect it.
