  SCAM, total SCAM! They take your money, send you a book that costs $268 to study from, and then you take a certification exam that is so long and not very easy... so you have to keep paying to re-take it. The scores are also not accurate...I checked all my answers...they claimed more answers were wrong that actually were. They will reply to you as long as you have not taken that exam. Once you pass it they send you, a certificate of passing the "certification" exam (if there is such a thing). Then they totally disappear! To get you to sign up, they promise to help you customize your resume and cover letter for the pharmaceutical sales opportunities, and membership to the organization...none of this is true. Once I got the "certification", I called several times, sent emails and... Nothing! The only thing they do is send you the manual (which is actually resourceful). But other than that NOTHING! Apparently after researching on the Better Business Bureau, they are not even a credible organization!!

  Overall getting my CNPR and then eventually getting into my pharmaceutical sales job was a wonderful experience. It was probably the most interesting book I studied since school. I truly thanked the association for all the help and support. When interviewing I quickly realized how many Pharmaceutical Co. employers look for industry knowledge, clinical training and pharmaceutical education from entry level pharmaceutical sales candidates. You really need to show the companies in the interview that you bring value to them as they look to grow their sales forces. They truly need qualified sales applicants who also have some knowledge of pharmacology and the medical industry. Overall, if you show passion and persistence in all stages of the interview process, you’ll be one step closer to getting a pharmaceutical sales job.

  I'm proud to be certified CNPR by your esteemed organization. CNPR certificate helped me in 2 ways: 1. The valuable education and final exam gave me a great introduction into the pharmaceutical industry. I got my feet wet and gave me the confidence during my interviews with the knowledge I gained from the book you provided. 2 The certificate on the resume is priceless because it opens doors to dialogue with recruiters and HR staff. Bottom line, the CNPR is a solid program which prepares you for a career in the pharmaceutical field in terms of education and certification. I strongly recommend any professional to get the CNPR certificate whether they're novice or experienced. I am now working as a Biotech Specialty Sales Representative at Omeros.

  I wanted to post a review here after the association mentioned to me that they were getting some weird reviews here on this site. That is terrible what competitors are trying to do to this credible trade group. I wanted to share how valuable the CNPR was for me in getting my career started in Pharmaceutical Sales. When starting my job search for Pharmaceutical Sales I was just astonished on how many employers ask for this certification. The CNPR was noted in my interview with Ashfield while making the difference in getting my first job in the industry. My daily responsibility as a Pharmaceutical Rep is to educate physicians about why our products can help their patients through proven clinical data. My physician clients are busy so I have to get it out fast. The CNPR also trained me on the pharmaceutical industry selling guidelines and regulations which is so vital. I would recommend the CNPR to anyone. It is sad for me to hear that others are defaming this well recognized and essential industry credential.

  I did the CNPR program which was great and the information in the course was actually very interesting. Coming from a medical background I appreciate the information it was a lot of reviewing but also a lot of new information. I am about to start a new career soon in Pharmaceutical Sales because of my CNPR. I have recommended this to a buddy of mine as well.

  I am a Registered Nurse who has been in home infusion sales for over 10 years and presently a district sales manager. I that this certification was not needed and I already knew the material. I was very wrong and learned so much. I am very thankful that I took the time to study the material and feel very proud to now have the certification. It has certainly helped me in my Pharmaceutical Sales Career. I highly recommend gaining your industry credentials.
