Certified Tobacco Educator PREP COURSE – Pilot April 9-12, 2015 Moncton, New Brunswick Join us for an interactive workshop that will prepare you to become a Certified Tobacco Educator. Attendees will receive a comprehensive participant education and tobacco manual* (a $250 value). You are expected to familiarize yourself with the material in advance so that you can apply that knowledge and practise your skills. There will be a small amount of lecture but the bulk of the workshop will be participatory and include case studies, role plays and games. We will spend the first two days covering the foundational health education competencies, including the health education and behavior change theories and models. You will learn how to apply those theories in your work with your clients. The second half of the course will focus on applying your new health education skills to tobacco management.

I appreciated the positive, constructive, approach to feedback and the review of SMART goals.” “The content of the course was really well-developed and very useful. There were lots of opportunities to practice and I liked that it built on skills and reinforced the use of MI. I found it helpful to have a really mixed group of health professionals… It allowed for differing points of view in our discussions. I found it helpful to have the facilitators join in discussions and redirect if needed. I feel it prepared folks to write the exam.” Cost: $500 (Special Reduced Pilot Training Program Fee) Times: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm daily Breakfast and lunch will be served. Participants will be required to register for the CTE exam taking place June 5, 2015. (The exam fee is $450 or $350 for current CAEs, CREs and CCEs.)
