The Breathing Association's TTS
Certification program issues two types of certifications: (1) Continuing
Education Units (CEU) for counselors, social workers, nurses, physicians,
respiratory therapists, etc. and (2) Provisional or Full Certification as a
Tobacco Treatment Specialist. Both CEU certificates and Provisional or Full
Certifications are only issued once the course is completed, and all required
forms and payment are received by The Breathing Association.
Registration MUST be paid before attending the course.
The Breathing Association’s Tobacco Treatment Specialist Training Course (TTS) is appropriate for health professionals from many disciplines, such as nursing, medicine, psychology, dentistry and dental hygiene, social services, counseling, addictions medicine, respiratory therapy, and health education. This course prepares professionals to provide treatment for tobacco dependent persons in many clinical and community settings.
This course is
accredited by Council for Tobacco Treatment Training Programs (CTTTP)
This course, like those
offered by several other institutions across the country, has been designed to
meet the standards of the Association for the Treatment of Tobacco Use
and Dependence (ATTUD) for training, competencies, and credentialing of TTS
trainees; the US Public Health Service Guidelines for treating tobacco use, and
evidence-based recommendations of authoritative groups in the field.
THE COURSE WILL BE HELD MONDAY, May 6 2019- Thursday May 9th 2019.

Requirements for
Certification
Persons who attend the
Tobacco Treatment Specialist course and complete the Learning Assessment will
receive a Certificate of Completion of the course. However, full certification
as a Tobacco Treatment Specialist is a process that goes beyond the didactic
coursework we offer. Requirements to receive Provisional Certification or Full
Certification are as follows:
Provisional
Certification: Those who attend
the course and complete the Learning Assessment, but have not fulfilled the
patient care requirements prior to the course will receive Provisional
Certification.
Full Certification: Those who attend the course, complete the
Learning Assessment, AND provide proof of experience in providing tobacco
dependence treatment will receive Full Certification.
Contact time in tobacco
cessation patient care may be either prior to or subsequent
to the Tobacco Treatment Specialist course. For those with a
Bachelor’s degree or less, applicants should demonstrate a total of 480
hours of clinical activity related to tobacco use cessation. Persons
with a graduate degree or post-Bachelor’s qualifications in a health-related
field (e.g., advanced-practice nursing) should show 240 hours
of patient care activity in tobacco cessation. Several types of activity
related to cessation can count toward this requirement:
-Delivering direct patient care in tobacco cessation
in group or individual counseling sessions, and/or telephone interventions and
follow-up
-Teaching classes about tobacco cessation and related issues
-Preparation time involved with cessation sessions or training classes
-Supervision of other healthcare personnel who provide tobacco cessation
