ExCPT Prep Course (ExCPT)

What you will learn

• By the end of this course, learners will be able to:
• Explain the major exam-relevant ExCPT competency areas and organize study using mapped domains/objectives/subskills, without relying on unpublished weighting claims.
• Master the high-yield concepts, definitions, terminology, and rules used in pharmacy technician practice across prescription processing, law/compliance, medication safety, inventory/storage, pharmacology, calculations, communication, and preparation/compounding principles when applicable.
• Apply concepts in realistic ExCPT-style scenarios, including single-best-answer, workflow interpretation, medication safety, law/compliance, and calculation questions.
• Accurately interpret prescriptions and medication orders, including sig codes, dosage forms, quantities, refills, labeling needs, and red flags that require pharmacist clarification.
• Perform common pharmacy calculations step by step, including unit conversions, dosage math, days' supply, concentrations, reconstitution, dilution/alligation when relevant, and IV/flow calculations when applicable; always show setup, units, and verification.
• Distinguish technician tasks from pharmacist-only responsibilities, and identify the safest next step when a scenario requires clinical judgment, counseling, verification, or escalation.
• Prevent common workflow and dispensing errors by recognizing look-alike/sound-alike risks, controlled substance traps, documentation gaps, storage problems, expiration/recall issues, and unsafe but plausible distractors.
