Pay the application fee (usually around $50).

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.

Work under ongoing supervision from a BCBA.
Follow ethics guidelines set by BACB.
