ABA Behavior Technician Certification Prep

This training course is based on the current Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) Task List. It is designed to meet the Behavior Analyst Certification Board’s (BACB) 40-hour training requirement for the RBT credential. The RBT is a paraprofessional primarily responsible for directly implementing behavior analytic services under the close supervision of a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst or Assistant Analyst (BCBA/BCaBA). A BCBA teaches this course and introduces Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles, such as ABA service delivery, behavior-change interventions, documentation, ethics, and professionalism. This course prepares students to pass the RBT Competency Assessment and Certification Exam. Completing the 40-hour course does not make you a Registered Behavior Technician.

Upon successful completion of this class, the learner will be able to:

  1. Understand the tasks and subtasks in the RBT Task List and the ethics requirements relevant to behavior technicians.

  2. Introduction to Applied Behavioral Analysis (2 hours)

  3. Preparing for Service Delivery (1 hour)

  4. Data Collection and Graphing (3 hours)

  5. Assisting w/Behavioral Assessments (3 hours)

  6. Behavior Change Interventions (20 hours)

  7. Service Delivery Documentation (3 hours)

  8. Ethics and Professionalism (5 hours)

  9. Next Steps in Certification Process (1 hour)

This training is designed and overseen by a BCaBA, BCBA , or BCBA-D, who has completed the 8-hour supervision training. This training program is designed to meet the 2025 and 2026 training eligibility requirements for RBT certification. This training is offered independent of the BACB.

Learners must be hired through a contracted employer. It is the employee's responsibility to follow their company's hiring practices and the employer's responsibility to properly vet new hires being sent through the RBT class.

Must be 18 years old.

Must have HS Diploma/GED Equivalent.

Must be able to pass a background and abuse registry check.
