Frequently Asked Questions

A registered behavior technician is a nationally recognized registry of individuals who function as behavior interventionists and practice Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. 

If you have specific questions about RBT certification, contact the Behavior Analyst Certification Board at RBT@bacb.com or 720-438-4321, (Monday to Friday) from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm Mountain time. 

NO! 

Once you complete this online training you ARE NOT a “Registered Behavior Technician”. After completing training, you will need to complete an application process, pass a live observation assessment (conducted by your supervising BCBA), and pass the national RBT examination (provided through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board) in order to become a "Registered Behavior Technician. 

For information on the written exam visit the BACB RBT Exam website

All RBTs must be supervised by a BCBA or a BCaBA. You cannot operate without a Board Certified Behavior analyst supervising you. It is potentially dangerous as well as unethical to provide therapy independently.

Completing this training DOES NOT authorize you to imply that you are qualified to provide any kind of therapy autonomously (i.e., by yourself, without supervision).

This training is for anyone who would like more information on evidence-based ways to teach their child or clients using principles of Applied Behavior Analysis. The training is suitable for adults ages 18 and up with a high school equivalent degree. It is designed to complete training standards for a BACB Registered Behavior Technician, but is offered independent of the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB).

The Behavior Analyst Certification Board sets a limit of 180 days to complete the 40 hour RBT™ training. Behavior University cannot offer extensions or exceptions to this rule. 

If you are not able to complete your course within the 180 days, please contact us at info@behavioruniversity.com to inquire about options available to you.

The next step is to work with your BCBA supervisor to schedule a direct observation Competency Assessment of your abilities to implement the procedures that you learned about in the 40 hour online training, and have been practicing during your work the home, clinic, school, or community setting where you have been gaining experience.  Once you “pass” the assessment, you can send your application to the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) and schedule your written exam.

A registry of BCBAs is available through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board through their Find a Certificant page

You can see a list of BCBAs willing to provide supervision and email them through the registry to ask if they are looking to hire interventionists (many are, most states are in great need of behavior interventionists). You may also conduct an online search in your state for companies which provide Applied Behavior Analysis therapy and directly contact them to inquire about employment as a behavior interventionist.
