✦ About the Credential

BACB® Credentialing — RBT®

The Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB®) is the gold standard credentialing body for behavior analysis professionals worldwide. The Registered Behavior Technician® (RBT®) is a paraprofessional certification in behavior analysis. RBTs assist in delivering behavior-analytic services and practice under the direction and close supervision of an RBT Supervisor and/or RBT Requirements Coordinator who is responsible for their work.

Outside the Box Trainings is proud to offer BACB®-aligned 40-hour training for the RBT® credential — built for the real people doing the real work.

Get Certified & Stay Supervised

Once certified, RBTs must receive ongoing supervision covering at least 5% of total ABA service hours each month, with a minimum of two face-to-face contacts per month, which may occur in person or via videoconferencing.
