TTS Recertification 2025
TTS Recertification
Time to Renew Your Tobacco Training?
If you took our Tobacco Treatment Specialist (TTS) training more than 2 years ago, it might be time to renew your training status.
What Is Recertification?
Recertification shows that you're keeping your skills up to date. It’s for people who have finished our TTS training and want to stay current in the field of tobacco treatment.
To recertify, you’ll need:
-Copies of your “certificates of completion” for a total of 18 hours of continuing education about quitting tobacco, public health, or addiction
-A $100 recertification fee
-To fill out the short recertification application

Please download the document found on the right and fill it out as it is required to be submitted with recertification registration.
What's New:
There are some exciting changes happening in the world of TTS!
Please note: We have been known since the early 2000’s to have been a certifying body in this field, but starting July 1, 2025, we’re changing gears.
Moving forward we are going to be known solely as a source of training and education that prepares you to earn national certification through trusted organizations like:
- The American Heart Association
- National Association of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors (NAADAC)
These national groups now handle the testing and official national certification and recertification. This means that starting July 1, 2025 we will no longer be recertifying TTS certificates.
Why is it changing?
The goal of these changes is to further the field of TTS in healthcare while also recognizing the importance of the skillset that is acquired through TTS training & certification.
Please visit the following sites for more information about each respective board's TTS national certification and recertification processes moving forward, including their requirements for continuing education credits.
