Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) · Verified on 2026-10-11: PTCB's currently accessible CSPT Candidate Guidebook outline, with its printable edition last updated February 26, 2025. PTCB states that the exam was republished November 1, 2023 to reflect revised USP <797>. The workbook label names the Certified Compounded Sterile Preparation Technician credential; the guidebook names its assessment the Compounded Sterile Preparation Technician Exam. These map to the same CSPT program, and the assigned slug is preserved. The downloadable outline still displays the historical label 'v1.0 - December 2017'; that label is not represented as a new examination version.

This original 20-question sample covers selected topics across the outline. It does not reproduce official exam questions or cover every tested topic.
