Programme Introduction
About this programme
The Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC) – Pharmacy Technician Examination is a national certification process designed to assess the competence of pharmacy technicians seeking licensure in Canada. This examination ensures that candidates possess the essential knowledge, technical skills, and professional judgment required to support pharmacists in delivering safe and effective patient care.
