A certified technician is certified nationally. Licenses are by state only. You don't have to have a national certification to be licensed, but you have to be licensed to work in alot of states. Certified technician usually make more money.

A license is given to you by the state that you work in and is necessary to work as a pharmacy tech. If you have no previous pharmacy experience, your employer usually helps you get this. A certification is something that you can attain (after your license) from an organization like the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board. It is just a little extra something to show employers that you are serious about your job. Certified pharmacy techs often use "CPhT" after their name (such as on their resume) to distinguish themselves.

a Licensed pharmacy technician has been licensed by their state of residency and can only practice in that state. a Certified pharmacy technician has passed a test given by PTCB that approves them to be a technician in any state.
Hope this helps.

License means you have a piece of paper from the state saying you are a pharm tech. You can work in a pharmacy.
Certified means you have passed the PTCE.
Almost all states require pharm techs to be licensed. Only one state, Texas, requires techs to be both licensed and certified.

certified means you passed the exams. Licensed means you are certified AND paid you fees to the State.
