Certified Tobacco Treatment Specialist (CTTS)

The CTTS is a specialized credential for professionals who have the skills, knowledge, and training to deliver effective, evidence-based interventions for tobacco dependence. Our coursework covers health education, assessment and referral, treatment planning and counseling, and the professional responsibilities that come with working in tobacco cessation. Applicants must hold a high school diploma, GED, or higher to qualify. Ethical practice as a CTTS also requires that the provider remain entirely tobacco-free and vape-free, a standard rooted in maintaining therapeutic credibility with the clients you serve. In accordance with Florida Certification Board (FCB) standards, our training is delivered exclusively via compliant self-paced online courses; "homestudy" formats are no longer accepted. To successfully verify learning and earn a certificate of completion, participants must pass a post-test with a minimum score of 70% and complete a Level One evaluation (attitude questionnaire).
