You can study this course from the comfort of your own home; in your own time and at your own pace; with helpful support and encouragement from our friendly tutors.

With ever-increasing pressure for smokers to quit, this course provides the opportunity for a lucrative, flexible and easily run business, offering both one-to-one and group facilities. Covering physical and psychological aspects of smoking, this course enables you to provide support during the cessation process, leading clients through a re-learning process in a comfortable, unhurried and permanent way. Nicotine Replacement Therapy offers very low rates of success on its own, typically less than 10%, so having a complete ‘toolkit’ puts the specialist therapist far ahead in the market.
