Overview

This RBT training course includes Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) and provides you with the required 40-hour training needed prior to scheduling an Initial Competency Assessment with your supervisor. Within the course, you have access to a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst® (BCBA®) who will provide feedback on in-course assignments designed to specifically prepare you for the 40-hour training requirement for the RBT certification through the Behavioral Analyst Certification Board® (BACB®).

With the support of a BCBA instructor, you will learn the steps required to administer behavioral intervention plans, record and prepare data for the behavior analyst, and follow ethical decision-making and protocol, as described by the board. You will learn the common functions of behavior, how to use motivators and reinforcers, conduct preference assessments, protocols for crisis prevention, and how to reduce or increase target behaviors by following a behavior intervention plan.
