RBT® 40-Hour Training,
100% Online

While our training satisfies the training requirement to become an RBT®, it’s important to note that there are additional steps involved in the RBT® certification process. For further details, we recommend that you review the BACB website.

Please note that we do not administer the RBT® competency assessment. You will need to find a qualified assessor (such as your BCBA supervisor) to conduct your Initial Competency Assessment.

During the course, you’ll watch videos where I deliver lectures with active student-response questions integrated throughout. As you watch, you’ll be required to input key words from the video into a quiz, reinforcing key concepts in real time. After each video, you’ll engage in interactive activities designed to deepen your understanding. These include reading articles, participating in discussion boards, completing assignments, and playing games such as matching exercises, drag-and-drop graphic organizers, and fill-in-the-blank challenges. At the end of each section, you’ll take a quiz that requires a minimum score of 80% to proceed. You can retake the quizzes as many times as needed to reach this score. Finally, you’ll complete a comprehensive final test, which combines all previous quizzes. Like the section quizzes, you can retake it as many times as necessary until you pass.

The course is based on the BACB RBT® Test Content Outline (3rd ed.) and the BACB 2026 RBT® 40-Hour Training Curriculum.

Yes, we have an 111-page RBT® exam study guide available on the website.

You must complete the RBT® course in no fewer than 5 days and no more than 180 days, in accordance with BACB guidelines. This ensures adequate time for learning while maintaining compliance with RBT® certification requirements.

Yes. The BACB allows the required 40-hour training to be completed online, and many people do it that way because it’s self-paced and fits around work or school. Online training is only one step, though. You still need to complete the other requirements before you’re certified.

No. The 40-hour RBT® training is the first requirement for certification, not the certification itself. The BACB awards the RBT® credential, not training providers. After training, you still need to complete a competency assessment, apply to the BACB, and pass the RBT® exam.

To participate in the RBT® course, you’ll need access to a computer and a stable internet connection.

No, the course does not work on phones. Please use a laptop to complete the RBT® course.

On average, the course takes approximately 42 hours to complete: the 40 required training hours plus quizzes and activities. You have the flexibility to break up that time in a way that works best for you. However, please note that the course content is dripped, which means it becomes available over a period of 5 days. It’s important to keep in mind that this is a rule set by the BACB, and you cannot complete the course in less than 5 days.

Yes, you will get a certificate of completion.

You can request a full refund for a course within 14 days of purchase. Group seats follow the same 14-day rule for each seat. Digital downloads, such as the study guide and practice exams, are final sale. See our Refund Policy for details.

My goal was to create an affordable RBT® training option for individuals who are interested in entering this field, without compromising on content or materials. In fact, I’ve put together the most comprehensive course possible within the 40-hour timeframe. Additionally, the course is designed to be highly interactive and engaging, utilizing a multi-modal approach that incorporates discussion boards, assignments, games, and other activities. If you find yourself unable to afford the course, please feel free to email me and I will do my best to work out a solution with you. Please note, however, that we do not offer payment plans.

Yes! You will get access to our RBT® PowerPoint presentations.

You’ll receive a certificate of completion, which you keep for your application records. Next, you’ll find a qualified BACB-certified supervisor to complete your Initial Competency Assessment, submit your application to the BACB, and schedule the RBT® exam once you’re approved. Training, assessment, and application all have timing windows, so check the BACB’s current deadlines and don’t let much time pass between steps.

Yes. The Initial Competency Assessment is required, and it’s separate from the 40-hour training. A qualified BACB certificant (such as a BCBA) observes you performing essential behavior technician skills and signs off that you’re competent. A training course completion certificate can’t replace it.
