Tobacco Treatment Specialist Certification

This two-part program is targeted to individuals who provide intensive tobacco dependence treatment services.
Part I of the certification program is conducted online at www.aztreattobacco.org in a self-paced case-study format and can take up to eight hours. Part II is a six-hour face-to-face practicum utilizing a small-group format.

Certified Tobacco Treatment Specialists are taught skills to analyze components of intensive interventions, apply reflective listening skills, facilitate multi-session intensive programs within the structure of existing nationally recognized programs, and serve as resource persons on tobacco dependence treatment for other health and human service professionals. Successful completion of the Basic Tobacco Intervention Skills Certification program or one of its adaptations is a prerequisite for Tobacco Treatment Specialist Certification.
