Answer 1

You have to be careful when you do the CEs.  For pharmacists and pharm techs, CEs are accredited by ACPE.  You need to make sure it is accredited for Techs.  It should say ACPE-T.  ACPE-P is for pharmacists only.

You can find many CEs through APhA's website http://www.pharmacist.com .

Also, remember a certain number of the CEs for techs have to be from a law course.
