New York Pharmacy Technician — Frequently Asked Questions
New York's Registration Requirement
National certification (PTCB or NHA) IS required as a prerequisite for the state license itself — unlike most states where it's optional or only required for a higher tier. As of a 2025 law change (effective April 2026) RPhTs may practice in any registered pharmacy, not just hospitals.
