Recognised as the SSPP, the official NZQA name is the New Zealand Certificate in Health and Wellbeing (Level 3) Support Work.
The competency-based training programme includes 15 unit standards with a total of 70 credits.
NTS STOP SMOKING PRACTITIONER PROGRAMME HUB BOOKING PROCEDURE:NTS Stop Smoking Practitioner Programme face-to-face hub training sessions have been affected by the unpredictable nature of bookings and attendances which in turn affects 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.
