As a valued member benefit, NAQC is pleased to highlight our online, self‑paced courses for Tobacco Treatment Specialists (TTSs), available to current NAQC members. These courses deliver practical, clinically relevant training that supports meaningful client conversations and addresses critical gaps in care.

Each course is approved by the Council for Tobacco Treatment Training Programs (CTTTP) to award continuing education contact hours to tobacco treatment providers who successfully complete the program - a benefit available only to current NAQC members.

Grounded in real‑world practice, the courses are flexible and self‑paced, making it easy for busy TTS professionals to build these skills into their schedules, another way your NAQC membership continues to pay off throughout the year.
