40-Hr RBT

The 40-Hr RBT training program is designed to meet the eligibility requirements established by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) for RBT certification. RBTs work under the supervision of a BCABA, BCBA, BCBA-D or Fl –CBA and are primarily responsible for the implementation of behavior analytic services.

The RBT is a paraprofessional credential. RBTs are in high demand and frequently work in ABA clinics, schools, day treatment programs, residential homes/facilities, and community based programs among others. Opportunities are also available for behavior technicians in hospitals and other health settings. For a detailed description of the requirements to obtain and maintain the RBT credential, please visit the BACB website (bacb.com) and download the RBT handbook. The 40hr-RBT is offered in a face-to-face format at MCDS or via Zoom. You can complete the course in 6-8 consecutive Saturdays.
