Certification Renewal

Every two years, Tobacco Treatment Specialists must upload 16 hours of motivational interviewing/tobacco-related continuing education credit and provide a $25 renewal fee to maintain certification.

Step One: Create a WVU micro-credential account through the WVU Genius Portal. 

• The WVU Genius Portal will require you to create an account before you can upload your materials demonstrating 16 hours of continued education.
• Submitting the account creation form will generate an email containing a temporary password.

Step Two: After you have set up your account and changed your password, go to the Course Catalog, locate/select WVU Health Sciences Certified Tobacco Treatment Training Program Certificate Renewal.

• When the course card opens, select Enroll at the bottom right. Close out the course card and select the Cart in the upper left-hand corner.
• Scroll down and select Payment Method and follow instructions to pay the $25 Tobacco Treatment Specialist renewal fee.
• Once you have enrolled and paid, you will be redirected to the Dashboard to upload your CEU transcripts.

Step Three: Upload documents that demonstrate your 16 CEU requirements after you have registered and enrolled in the course:

• On left-hand menu, select Document Upload.
• Select Add New.
• Label and select the appropriate drop-down menu document.
• Drag and Drop or Upload from your computer the file.
• Select Submit.

Once the 16 CE hours are verified and your certification renewal fee payment is confirmed, you will receive an email with instructions to download your renewed Tobacco Treatment Specialist Certificate.
