Scoring of the Portfolio Assessment
Each of the sections will be scored independently and then combined to establish an overall score. PEBC has worked with practitioner experts to determine the passing score which will determine if the candidate can proceed through the certification process.
Candidates are only permitted to attempt the assessment a single time. Candidates should take their time to provide sufficient details throughout the Portfolio to ensure that the assessors have the necessary information when reviewing the Portfolio. PEBC reserves the right to follow up with further clarification, as required, before releasing the results.
The sections of the Portfolio Assessment will be assessed by multiple assessors. For any unsuccessful candidates, PEBC will have the entire Portfolio reviewed by an independent assessor to validate the results.
Once the result has been released, an unsuccessful candidate cannot re-attempt the International Evaluation.
Possible Outcomes:
- Successful candidates will be permitted to continue through the PEBC Certification Process for Pharmacy Technicians and apply for the Pharmacy Technician Qualifying Examination
- Unsuccessful candidates will no longer be eligible to complete PEBC’s Certification Process for Pharmacy Technicians unless they complete a CCAPP-accredited pharmacy technician program
