Last reviewed August 2026 by Tyler Dalton, PharmD
Direct answer
After you pass the final exam, download your certificate from your student dashboard. Log in to gateway.albop.com, open your pharmacy technician profile, upload your PDF under training documentation, and submit within 10 days of finishing. Keep a copy for your employer.
Before you start
- You passed all five modules and the final exam in Alabama Pharm Tech
- Your ALBOP pharmacy technician registration is approved and active
- You have your certificate PDF saved on your computer (not just on your phone)
- You are within 10 days of your training completion date
Step-by-step: Licensure Gateway certificate upload
-
Download your certificate of completion
Log in to your Alabama Pharm Tech student dashboard and open the certificate page. Download the PDF. If you have not passed the final exam yet, finish all five modules first. Your certificate lists your name, completion date, and the approved program provider (Dalton Pharmacy).
-
Open the ALBOP Licensure Gateway
Go to gateway.albop.com in a desktop browser. Chrome, Safari, or Edge work best. Mobile browsers sometimes fail on file uploads.
-
Log in to your pharmacy technician profile
Use the same email and password you created when you applied for ALBOP registration. On your dashboard, open your active pharmacy technician license. If you see multiple license types, select Pharmacy Technician.
-
Find the document upload section
Look for Documents, Upload Documents, or My Documents on your technician profile. ALBOP occasionally renames menu items during portal updates. If you cannot find it, check under Continuing Education or Training Documentation on the same profile page.
-
Select the correct document type
Choose Certificate of Completion or Training Documentation from the document type dropdown. Do not upload under renewal CE unless you are submitting continuing education hours. Your initial training certificate goes under the training or completion category.
-
Upload your PDF and submit
Click Choose File or Browse, select your certificate PDF, and click Submit or Upload. Wait for a confirmation message. Your document should show as pending review or received. Screenshot the confirmation for your records.
-
Keep copies for yourself and your employer
ALBOP requires both you and your employing pharmacy to keep training records for at least two years. Email a copy to your pharmacy manager or HR contact the same day you upload. Rule 680-X-2-.14 gives you 10 days from the date you finish training to submit proof to the Board.
1. Log in
gateway.albop.com
2. Open profile
Pharmacy Technician license
3. Upload PDF
Training documentation
The 10-day rule
Rule 680-X-2-.14 requires you to submit evidence of completed training within 10 days of finishing your program. The six-month deadline is separate. Upload your certificate as soon as you download it. Read our Rule 680-X-2-.14 simplified guide for the full timeline.
Troubleshooting common Gateway errors
These are the support questions we hear most often from Alabama Pharm Tech students trying to upload at gateway.albop.com.
How long do I have to upload my certificate after finishing training?
ALBOP Rule 680-X-2-.14 requires evidence of completed training within 10 days of finishing your program. Upload as soon as you download your certificate. Do not wait until the six-month registration deadline.
What file format does the Licensure Gateway accept?
PDF is the safest format. Most students download a PDF directly from the Alabama Pharm Tech dashboard. If your file is a photo or screenshot, convert it to PDF before uploading. Blurry or cropped images may be rejected.
I cannot log in to gateway.albop.com. What should I do?
Use the Forgot Password link on the login page. Confirm you are at gateway.albop.com, not albop.com. If your account was created during registration, use that same email. For account lockouts, contact ALBOP directly at (334) 271-1828 or through the contact form at albop.com.
The upload button is grayed out or my file will not attach.
Try a desktop browser instead of your phone. Clear your browser cache, disable popup blockers, and make sure the PDF is under 10 MB. Rename the file to remove special characters. If the portal still fails, contact ALBOP support with your permit number and a screenshot of the error.
I finished training but my Gateway profile does not show an upload option.
Make sure your pharmacy technician registration is approved and active. Pending applications may not show document upload fields. If your registration is active and you still cannot upload, call ALBOP at (334) 271-1828 during business hours.
Does Alabama Pharm Tech submit my certificate for me?
No. You upload your own certificate through the Licensure Gateway. We provide the approved training and the downloadable certificate. Submission to ALBOP is your responsibility, and it must happen within 10 days of completion.
Can I upload a PTCB score report instead of a training certificate?
Yes. Passing the PTCB or ExCPT exam also satisfies Rule 680-X-2-.14. Upload your official score report through the same Gateway document section. Alabama Pharm Tech is ALBOP compliance training, not PTCB exam prep. For structured PTCB prep after you are working, see Allied Health Academy.
Still stuck?
Portal login and upload issues are handled by ALBOP, not Alabama Pharm Tech. Contact the Board at (334) 271-1828 or through albop.com/contact. For course or certificate download questions, contact Alabama Pharm Tech.
