Certificado BACB 2026
Incluido en todos los planes
Si aplica en 2026 o más adelante, un certificado de 2da Edición no será aceptado
Efectivo el 1 de enero de 2026, el BACB reemplazó el Listado de Tareas RBT de 2da Edición con la 3ra Edición del Test Content Outline. Cualquier candidato que aplique para el examen RBT en esa fecha o después debe enviar un certificado de capacitación de un programa construido para el nuevo currículo. Los certificados de programas de 2da Edición resultarán en una aplicación rechazada.
Este programa fue construido para el estándar de la 3ra Edición — no adaptado de contenido anterior. Cada módulo se mapea directamente a una de las ocho áreas de contenido requeridas por el BACB, con horas de instrucción que cumplen los mínimos del BACB. Su certificado incluye la declaración exacta de atestación requerida para aplicaciones en 2026 y más adelante.
Ocho módulos, 49 actividades, mapeados a las Secciones A–H del BACB

Preguntas comunes sobre la capacitación RBT 2026
Is this course aligned with the BACB 2026 3rd Edition Test Content Outline?
Yes. The curriculum is built to the 3rd Edition TCO that went into effect January 1, 2026. Modules map directly to the eight required content areas (A through H) with instructional hours that meet BACB minimums in each area. Certificates issued on completion include the exact statement the BACB requires for 2026 and later applications.
I have a 2nd Edition RBT training certificate from a different provider. Can I still use it?
No. Effective January 1, 2026, the BACB requires that all new RBT applicants submit a certificate from a program built to the 3rd Edition TCO. A 2nd Edition certificate will result in a rejected application for anyone applying in 2026 or later. If you are in this situation, you need to complete a 2026-compliant 40-hour training before submitting.
What is the difference between the four pricing tiers?
Basic ($59) is our agency bulk rate — the full 40-hour video curriculum with quizzes and the BACB-compliant certificate. Standard ($99) adds a mock RBT exam and a downloadable study guide for individual candidates. Premium ($149) adds monthly live group Q&A sessions with a BCBA. Full Cert ($399) is the complete certification path — it adds a 1:1 30-minute session with our BCBA, the RBT Initial Competency Assessment, and an employer referral through our network.
Does completing this course make me an RBT?
The 40-hour training is one of four required steps. You must also complete an Initial Competency Assessment with a BCBA or BCaBA supervisor, pass a background check, and pass the RBT certification exam through Pearson VUE. The Full Cert tier includes the competency assessment; other tiers require you to arrange that separately.
Can I complete this course at my own pace?
Yes. The course is self-paced. Per BACB requirements, training must be completed in no fewer than 5 days and no more than 180 days from enrollment. Your 180-day window begins the day you enroll.
Who can supervise my competency assessment and ongoing practice as an RBT?
Under the 2026 standard, only BCBAs and BCaBAs may supervise RBTs. Non-certified licensed professionals are no longer permitted to supervise RBTs, even with prior BACB approval. Make sure your employer can provide BCBA or BCaBA supervision before enrolling.
What happened to the annual competency assessment and annual renewal?
Both changed in 2026. The annual Renewal Competency Assessment was eliminated, replaced with a requirement to complete 12 Professional Development Units (PDUs) every two years. Recertification itself moved from a 1-year to a 2-year cycle, aligning with other BACB credentials.
Can I upgrade tiers after enrollment?
Yes. You can upgrade from Basic to Standard, Premium, or Full Cert at any time before you pass the competency assessment — you pay only the difference. Contact our team for upgrade instructions.
What is the refund policy?
Full refund within 7 days of enrollment if you have completed less than 25% of the course content. See the refund policy page for full details.
