The Registered Behavior Technician® (RBT®) is a paraprofessional who practices under the close, ongoing supervision of a BCBA, BCaBA, or FL-CBA. The RBT® is primarily responsible for the direct implementation of behavior-analytic services. The RBT does not design intervention or assessment plans. It is the responsibility of the RBT® supervisor to determine which tasks an RBT may perform as a function of his or her training, experience, and competence. The BACB certificant supervising the RBT® is responsible for the work performed by the RBT® on the cases they are overseeing.

This RBT® course is a 40-hour, online, video-based training with modules designed to help you prepare to sit for the RBT Exam offered by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB). This training program is based on the 2026 RBT Task List-3rd Edition. This program is offered independent of the BACB.

The RBT® credential requires applicants to bat least 18 years of age, a high school graduate, complete this 40-hours training course, successfully complete a Competency Assessment, pass a criminal background check, and then pass the RBT Exam.

Completing the 40-hour online training DOES NOT make you an RBT®. After receiving your 40-hour Course Completion Certificate, you are required to complete an initial Competency Assessment. The assessment is complete when the behavior technician candidate demonstrates knowledge in each item on the Task List as observed by the supervising BCBA®.
