PD 105 - Registered Behavior Technician Certification Preparation (RBT Cert Prep)

This comprehensive course enables individuals to fulfill the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) requirements necessary to obtain a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) credential. The course is designed to provide the learner with a foundation in the basic concepts of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) as well as enable practical application of the strategies and skill sets necessary to serve individuals in need of behavior therapy. The RBT is an entry level credential that will complement the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), and Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCABA) credential. The RBT is a paraprofessional who works under the close supervision of a BCBA or BCABA. The primary role of the RBT is to provide direct implementation of behavior analytic services that are designed by a BCBA. The course is taught “Pass/Fail” and completion of a competency-based exam preliminary to certification is necessary to receive credit in the course. Certification is not conveyed by taking the course or the competency-based exam, but by the BACB through completion of an official Board Exam. Students are prepared to sit for the board exam through successful completion of this course.
