Yes, definitely! Some recommended study materials and a study strategy can be found at: Pharmacy Technician Certification Test Preparation.

On a personal note, I studied on my own for the exam and passed it. You do have to be self-motivated and disciplined though.

Good luck to you! Let me know if you have any other questions!
