ELIGIBILITY

Before you enroll

These come from the BACB and apply to RBT certification itself — the credential this training prepares you for. You don’t need them to enroll in or finish the online course, but they’re worth confirming before you invest in the path.

MUST-HAVE · NON-NEGOTIABLE

Hard requirements

These come directly from the BACB. If you don't meet them, you can't be certified — full stop.

  • You are 18 years or older

    Required at time of BACB application.

  • You live in a BACB jurisdiction

    US, Canada, UK, Australia, or other approved territory.

FOR CERTIFICATION · ARRANGEABLE

Acknowledgments

Required by the BACB for certification, not to take this course. You can arrange them while studying or after.

  • High school diploma or GED

    Or actively in process at time of BACB application.

  • Background check capacity

    The BACB requires a clean background check to certify.

PROCESS

How it’s structured

Where this course fits the BACB path. What you complete here — 100% online — and the steps that come after, offered separately or handled directly with the BACB.

  1. 01
    THIS COURSE · 100% ONLINE

    The BACB-required 40 hours of RBT training

    Thirteen sections of self-paced video lessons, readings, and section quizzes, plus two full-length timed mock exams and a graded final. Completed entirely online, on your own schedule, within your 180-day access window — no clinic visits required. This is what you purchase here.

  2. 02
    NEXT STEP · NOT INCLUDED

    Initial Competency Assessment with a qualified assessor

    A separate BACB requirement, completed within 90 days before your application: an assessment of 19 tasks (some with a real client) by a qualified assessor. Not part of this course — BH Field plans to offer assessment scheduling as a separate service when the BACB relationship requirements can be met.

  3. 03
    WITH THE BACB · EXTERNAL

    Background check + BACB application

    With your Training Certificate and completed Competency Assessment, you submit the BACB application ($65) and pass the BACB-required background check.

  4. 04
    WITH PEARSON VUE · EXTERNAL

    RBT exam at a Pearson VUE testing center

    Once your BACB application is approved, schedule and pass the RBT exam ($45) at any Pearson VUE testing center. After passing, your RBT certification is active.
