Certification Management for Tobacco Specialists and Wellness Coaches

Certification Renewal Requirements

Certified participants must document 30 hours of continuing education over three years, with at least 15 hours from courses and the rest from client coaching hours.
Upload your certification documentation on your learner profile on this website.
Submissions must include a certificate of completion with credits earned, student name, course title, instructor, and date. Acceptable continuing education includes coursework and workshops in counseling, psychology, coaching, health behavior change, and specialty areas like sleep or nutrition.
- Mayo Clinic goes by the hours/credits that are earned based on that certificate of completion. We do not accept just a syllabus, course agenda or estimated hours per week as proof of credit earned in lieu of the certificate of completion.
The NBHWC directory of pre-approved continuing education providers is a helpful resource, and participants can opt-in for Mayo Clinic updates on continuing education opportunities. Select the Get Updates tab to review.
