Nonsterile compounding is an essential component of pharmacy practice, requiring precision, consistency, and adherence to established standards. This PTCB-recognized program is designed to equip pharmacy technicians with the foundational knowledge and skills needed to support safe, accurate, and compliant nonsterile compounding processes.
Through a structured, five-module format, learners will explore regulatory requirements, pharmaceutical calculations, formulation components, equipment and supplies, and core compounding techniques. This program prepares technicians to confidently contribute to compounding workflows, support quality assurance efforts, and strengthen their readiness for certification and practice.
Compounded nonsterile preparations (CNSPs) play a critical role in meeting the individualized medication needs of patients. Pharmacy technicians are key contributors to the preparation, documentation, and quality assurance processes that support safe and effective compounding. This comprehensive, PTCB-recognized program provides a structured learning experience designed to build competency in nonsterile compounding across a variety of practice settings.
The program is organized into five modules that guide learners through essential aspects of nonsterile compounding practice. Participants will begin by exploring regulatory standards, oversight organizations, and the responsibilities of pharmacy technicians in maintaining compliance and quality. The program then builds foundational skills in pharmaceutical calculations, emphasizing accuracy, unit conversions, and error prevention strategies.
Learners will also examine formulation components, excipients, and dosage forms, gaining an understanding of compatibility considerations and routes of administration. Additional modules focus on the proper use and maintenance of compounding equipment, container closure systems, and environmental controls necessary to ensure preparation integrity and patient safety.
The program concludes with a focus on compounding techniques, including weighing, measuring, mixing, and appropriate use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Quality assurance, quality control, and error prevention strategies are emphasized throughout, preparing technicians to support consistent, high-quality compounding practices.
Upon completion, participants will be better prepared to contribute to nonsterile compounding workflows, support regulatory compliance, and demonstrate competency aligned with current practice standards and certification expectations.

Nonsterile compounding is an essential component of pharmacy practice that requires adherence to established standards and regulatory expectations to ensure patient safety and preparation quality. This module introduces learners to the organizations responsible for oversight of nonsterile compounding and examines how standards, regulations, and accreditation requirements influence daily practice. An emphasis will be placed on the roles and responsibilities of pharmacy technicians within the compounding workflow, including their role in supporting compliance, consistency, and quality.
Accurate pharmaceutical calculations are fundamental to safe and consistent nonsterile compounding practices. Pharmacy technicians must be proficient in units of measure, conversions, and calculation methods to ensure correct ingredient quantities and final concentrations. This module focuses on applied pharmaceutical calculations commonly encountered in nonsterile compounding, with step-by-step examples designed to reinforce accuracy and reduce the potential for compounding errors.
Nonsterile compounding includes a wide range of dosage forms prepared using active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients with varying physical and chemical properties. This module reviews commonly used formulation components in nonsterile compounding, with an emphasis on compatibility considerations that affect stability and preparation quality. Learners will also review nonsterile dosage forms and associated routes of administration relevant to contemporary compounding practice.
Supplies, equipment, and packaging systems are critical components of safe and consistent nonsterile compounding practices. This module examines the tools used to prepare, package, and store nonsterile compounded preparations, including container closure systems and compounding equipment. Learners will also review procedures for calibration, maintenance, cleaning, and sanitization, with an emphasis on supporting preparation quality, compliance, documentation, and patient safety.
Good technique is critical during all points of the nonsterile compounding process. This module is designed to educate learners on the skills necessary to compound nonsterile preparations accurately, efficiently, and safely. This course will explain how to appropriately garb for nonsterile compounding and review weighing, measuring, and mixing techniques. Considerations for compounding hazardous and non-hazardous preparations will be discussed.
