SSPP is designed specifically for Stop Smoking practitioners. The training combines best practice concepts and methods to help the New Zealand stop smoking workforce achieve a national standard of quality practice.
SSPP will develop your core competencies in stop smoking treatment and practice. As a result of this course you will be enrolled in the New Zealand Certificate in Health and Wellbeing (Level 3), Support Work and receive NZQA credits.

New NTS Stop Smoking Practitioner Programme hub booking procedure:
NTS Stop Smoking Practitioner Programme hub training sessions have been affected by the unpredictable nature of bookings and attendance which in turn effects the ability of the Inspiring team to consistently deliver to the highest standards in terms of venues, facilities, course materials and catering.
To compensate for uncertainty around attendance, a waiver is introduced and will apply to all SSPP face-to-face training. This is to encourage trainees who have registered to commit to attending the 2 days training, so we have a reasonable number of attendance.
Registration fee:
The waiver is an agreeance that the orgnanisation will pay the registration fee of $100 for any staff member who is registered for training and does not attend. The registration fee of $100 will be payable to Inspiring Limited at the time of all NTS Stop Smoking Practitioner Programme hub training applications. An invoice will be forwarded to the Manager of each respective organisation and will be payable by bank transfer.
