The training can be completed online or in person and covers key principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

Pay the application fee (usually around $50).

Ensure you meet all documentation requirements.

Step 5: Pass the RBT Exam

After BACB approves your application, you’ll receive authorization to schedule the RBT exam through Pearson VUE.

The exam is a multiple-choice test based on ABA principles and behavior intervention strategies.

Step 6: Maintain Your RBT Certification

Work under ongoing supervision from a BCBA.

Follow ethics guidelines set by BACB.

Complete yearly renewal requirements, including a renewal application and competency assessment.
