In addition to becoming an NCSCT Certified Practitioner, we recommend additional ‘skills’ training. NCSCT virtual and face-to-face courses are evidence-based and proven to increase clinical skills.
We have developed, piloted and evaluated a range of two-day virtual courses in behavioural support for smoking cessation. Course evaluations have been excellent and attendees and their managers have appreciated removing the need for people to attend at a central venue. All courses are delivered by two expert NCSCT trainers with the support of an administrator/technical support officer.
"I loved the course. Thought-provoking, interesting, interactive and enjoyable. Trainers were excellent, passionate and engaging. Great use of technology."
This section includes the Competency Framework for Stop Smoking Practitioners, National Training Standard, and Cochrane review on training health professionals in smoking cessation. It also has details of DVDs to support training.
