The NAPSRx is a trade association for the pharmaceutical and biotech industry. NAPSRx represents sales representatives for these industries and is also a federally trademarked group. The NAPSRx currently has over 71,000 members and is growing rapidly. The National Association of Pharmaceutical Sales Representatives™ was initiated to increase and create sales training methods for entry level pharmaceutical sales reps. The NAPSRx also provides current trade information for thousands of professional Pharmaceutical Sales Representatives. The association provides education, training and testing for entry level reps who want to gain entry into the pharmaceutical industry as well as continuing education for current reps.
Any applicant who passes the NAPSRx examination with a score of 80% or better will receive the Federal Certification Mark of the CNPR. The certification (CNPR™) is marketed to the pharmaceutical industry. The CNPR™ examination and the NAPSRx™’s Training Manual were compiled by surveying the pharmaceutical community. The training program topics consist of the results from those surveys. NAPSRx™ certification and entry level training program is the largest in the United States. The examination/certification is an opportunity to expand the professional knowledge base of the pharmaceutical industry, changing regulations, good selling practices and the highest standard of ethics.

The course can be ordered directly from the NAPSRx but will also be offered in partnership with colleges and universities nationwide. Once you have decided on the course, you can order through the association.
